That was you up on the mountain
All alone and all surrounded

Laughing at the life you're wasting

You do it all your life and you
Never get through it

Everything they had to say
Had been erased in just one day

Things in bars that people do
When no one wants to talk to you

Failing can be quite a breeze, he
Told me that these girls were easy

Happy that you said you'd mount me
Felt unlucky when you found me

Some nights come up empty handed
Yes, I'll take it

Wait now, by the sidewalk

Hold on, yes, I'll be right back
