[Verse 1]
I have been well acquainted with the place around my bed
And I have walked the line between complete insanity and solemn introversion
And I have one too many skeletons and one too few years to build a closet
[Pre-Chorus]
But how many stumbles down it take to hit the ground
And how many exits must you make before you're homeward bound
[Verse 2]
Well this old house got me weakened in the neck and in the knees
Neighbor’s faces tattooed on the walls with ink that in crazy for even seeing
And maybe if my shitty guitar playing gets me out I can afford to paint it over
[Pre-Chorus]
But how many stumbles down it take to hit the ground
And how many exits must you make before you're homeward bound
[Chorus]
And how many goddamn times must I say I am wrong before im right
I need a drink tonight
[Bridge]
And now she's all broke down and crying in the front yard
He asks her what the hell is wrong again and the neighbors start to stare
We never asked to paint the words we hold here, no
It must be in the water
It must be in the water
[Chorus]
But how many stumbles down it take to hit the ground
And how many exits must you make before you're homeward bound
An how many goddamn times must I say I am wrong before im right
I need a drink tonight
