Down, Down, Down

from II (XVI) by Mixed Metaphors

lyrics

These pictures on the wall
don't do it anymore
Smiles of forgotten years
just hit me where it's stale
Get yourself outside
is what they say
get some new clothes
new friends
new outlook
Baby, mistakes were made
mistakes were made
now the days
all look the same
Hoping some friends will call
I'm climbing up the walls
That's how it brings me down
good is never good enough

Gotta break this funk
the days are passing fast
I try to get on out
to places I can scout, some action
Where people laugh and smile
they've been going for a while
But I just can't break through
not with them
not with you
Smiles of forgotten years
I think of all the time
Is that what brings me down?
Not enough is too much now

And thinking of your love
doesn't feel good anymore
Crossing my mind
everyday
every hour
Bet you forgot my name
Fighting just to move on
to the next
version of myself
But yeah I think I get it
Sadness just
can't be remitted
Smiles from the time we spent
it brings my hands to my eyes
Oh yeah it brings me down
you'll never know it brings me down

(guess you were right about me
you weren't the only one
now this
this
is what it is
turning my back while singing
maybe we'll meet again one day
somewhere
on the other side)
