Mister Nervous - The Sweeter Life

The morning sun shines on an empty glass
The teevee's talking about the latest disaster
She opens her eyes
Trying to focus on the ceiling
The sheets and blankets in a hopeless jumble
Crawling out of bed she almost stumbles
He mumbles
He nicked himself shaving in the foggy mirror
She pulls the robe sash around her waist
Her mouth waters at the thought of the taste
Of the coffee
She smells him brewing in the kitchen
Everyday becomes the same
Another round of a losing game
And she cries
What happened to the sweeter life that we loved
The dreams we shared when we spoke of our love
Lost in the shuffle when push came to shove
What happened to the sweeter life that we loved
How did it slip away from us

Another day at their dead-end jobs
Punching the clock and feeling robbed
Where did it go
All that promise for the future
A crap apartment and a beat-up car
Too many nights on the corner bar
How could they fail
The road ahead had seemed so straight and sure
Everyday becomes the same
Another round of a losing game
And she cries
What happened to the sweeter life that we loved
The dreams we shared when we spoke of our love
Lost in the shuffle when push came to shove
What happened to the sweeter life that we loved
How did it slip away from us

How did it slip away from us
How did it slip away from us
