Portrait Of A Cigarette Smoker At 19 Lyrics - Less Than Jake

I used to be a stereotype 

Half alive with half open eyes 

With a one track mind 

And a flawed design 

Feeling like I was lost 

At sea at only the age of 19 

Floating around in alcohol and apathy 

Taking in too much caffeine and nicotine 

If we make it outta here alive 

Just say you won't look back to see 

Just who we left behind (there might not be a next time) 

With all the ups and downs and turn arounds (might not be a next time) 

To the breaking up to breaking down (might not be a next time) 

Yeah we were the ones to say (there might not be a next time) 

I used to be a stereotype 

Someone you'd never recognize 

With fingers so yellow 

That they matched the yellow skies 

And there was a few things I memorized 

From all those blurry times 

Like bottles clinking under blinking signs 

And a few last words from long lost friends of mine 

If we make it out of here alive 

Just say you won't look back to see 

Just who we left behind (there might not be a next time) 

With all the ups and downs and turn arounds (might not be a next time) 

To the breaking up to breaking down (might not be a next time) 

Yeah we were the ones to say (there might not be a next time) 

And if we make it outta here alive (if we make outta here alive) 

Just say you won't look back to see 

Just who we left behind 

Just who we left behind 

After all the fuck ups and fallouts (there might not be a next time) 

With all the ups and downs and turn arounds (might not be a next time) 

Through all the breaking up to breaking down (there might not be a next time) 

Yeah we were the ones to say (there might not be a next time) 

There might not be a next time (might not be a next time) 

Words to live by 

we're all doing just fine
