As Good As It Gets

Driving down Lincoln Boulevard

In the middle of the night

I just left you at the after hours

You were talking out the side of your mouth

You were grinding it out out

And the truth was a foreign land to you

What you want and what you need

Sit in separate rooms and they don't speak

Both waiting for the stone to bleed

I can't wait to see

When the world comes down on you

Breaking your knees

Is this as good as it gets

As good as it can be, as good as you are

Driving 'round, driving around this town

For what it seems for years

Old friends pick up and leave because the city offered no relief

And now they got their house and their trees

I got all I need

It's not much I know

But it's enough for me

Is this as good as it gets

As good as it can be, as good as you are

When I was a child

I was never taught I could be somebody

Broken down to raw bone, I knew I had to leave

Jumping over landmines, dropped from an empty plane

Pushing through everything that fell in my way

Is this as good as it gets

As good as it can be, as good as you are
