Another Boy Drowning Lyrics - The The

Monday morning, I looked the mirror in the eyes 

I think I'd kill myself if I ever went blind 

Your life is slipping away 

You found out you're older than you thought you were today 

You've gotta stay optimistic 

It gets harder by the second 

We all know we're edging our way toward the end 

Carving hearts and crosses in my head 

There's people on the streets throwin' rocks at themselves 

'Cause they ain't got no money and they're livin' in hell 

But there's animals down the road adding fuel to this heat 

It never did take much guts to be a sheep 

There are no voices as the time approaches 

I wanted to be like Bob Dylan until I discovered Moses 

Saturday night and I was lying in my bed 

The window was open and raindrops were bouncing off my head 

When it hit me like a thunderbolt 

I don't know nothing and I'm scared 

That I never will 

You pray to your God, that you'll never feel 

So much pain again 

But the agony has just begun 

Movin' on, opening new doors 

Life just doesn't seem that simple anymore 

In case I don't see you again 

I hope you'll feel glad that you know me while I was here
