Buzzwords - Around The Edges

Been taking the bus now for the better part of 2 years
And I'd rather not discuss my faults with anybody too near
By the looks of things you're losing patience with everyone you love
Getting older is getting old now yeah and I've been feeling rough
Around the edges of the bay, playing mermaids in the sun
Watch my baby find a sea shell, ope and now there's more than one
Wishing we could stay forever in our perfect oasis
But life's a-calling me away now from all of these beautiful places

Walked the Vegas strip at night, got too anxious and retreated
Made a plan to fuck the power grid, bring the city to its knees and
It put things in perspective, this place ain't for us
And we fucked in our hotel room, I watched you watch the sun come up
Fantasized about leaving Pittsburgh on the way home from Nevada
The way Aunt Becky talks on Full House, I'd think of moving to Nebraska
Or Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, a place that doesn't start with N
It doesn't matter where we go, I wanna love till the end

Saw my face in a reflection, it's hard to recognize the stranger
I wake up in the morning and constantly feel in danger
From myself and what's outside, it's a fucked up kind of feeling
I practice breathing exercises, yeah you could say I'm dealing
With the consequence of living, here one day and then you're gone
I haven't quite figured it out, feels like I'm doing things all wrong
Got way too fucking high in Zion, had a spiritual awakening
As long you're right by my side this whole goddamn world's for the taking
With the muddy ground beneath us, seated beneath the shade tree
I thought of life without you and no yeah that just ain't for me
