i sat around for hours on end
before an end so clearly breathin to me
i shall no longer play a part of your equation
i missed your boat passing time
cause we must have stayed off shore
to avoid sad striations
avoidance has been your trump

still i wait for you
this is the best that i can do
to throw my energy into your apathy
it's the best that i can do

i once had pride i once had guts
but i gave up all that shit for the big easy
so now i rely on you to get me through this
i once believed i had a name
but my name was changed
to the numbers on my resume
so i hope that you're impressed

i did it all for you
it's the best that i could do
a little song and dance can have its consequences
it's the best that i can do
to sit around the phone
the pace just waits for you
this is the best that i can do
this is the best that i can do

i sweat it out for hours on end
for an answer clearly breathing to me
i sweat it out for hours on end
for an end so obviously breathing to me
