Grenade on Course Lyrics

I wonder if i have as good of friends as you did
when you made a list of shortchanges and empty exchanges
you've known most of them through your twenties
and they feel safe on a firstname basis
and acquaintances remain nameless
so when you introduce in your own way that you're out to lunch
they develop occupations
and reservations
hearing and believin it i sweat all day to push it away
only you answer when i write
and i'm the only one who writes anymore
only you see a street ahead of me is promising
and paving a way
only you carry on a repartee i step a little closer to see
only you
i wonder if you counted all your books
the ones you read and gave innumerable ears to
if someone were to catch you on a saturday night
under the covers and the candlelight
the matinee idol in you would argue
"tell everyone i'm stayin inside"
so when you told them all to go away
by having nothin to say
you develop a silver hammer to prove
what a body won't bend to
when you sit upon a litany
of unanswered prayers on your floor
how do you believe an opportunity's
on the other side of a door
at an age when you could a**ume it's now or nevermore
more or less a grenade on course
with no relief for a bitter remorse
and heartbroken
hearing and believin it i sweat all day to push it away
only you answer when i write
and i'm the only one who writes anymore
only you see a street ahead of me is promising
and paving a way
only you carry on a repartee i step a little closer to see
only you
