It's the children that I feel for
Yes, the children make me feel more
More than the liquor, more than the art
More than the Beach Boys records

It's the drink that gives us heartache
It's the charity we won't take
We feel so empty and our late twenties
Should be better times

It's the love and the truth
And the hope and the faith
That will destroy us in the end

It's the look in the eyes
Of those one night stands
That gives us the will to pretend

It's the feeling of fucking
The people that we're loving
That spurs us onto
Endless sleepless nights
And love will destroy us in the end

There's not a thing that I can save
From all those wasted, wasted days
And there's no faith
That will ever save me from being faithful

And the damn phone never rings
And I would give up everything
For a little wine, some conversation
And just for being healthy
