First Drag Of The Day lyrics


Don t make me do it, don t make me sell the things I love
There s too much happening in this world
Don t choose the other side right away
It s been left alone for a while

If I can get to the words before that first smoke
Everything seems to come out differently

Leaving a large hole in my hip
I ve never tried to quit
Here I go with the first drag of the day
Sometimes it makes me fall backwards on back into bed

Don t stop me, don t correct me
Please don t interfere with me
I m trying to write as fast as I can
Yesterday wasn t so bad
I thought it a little worse than it was
I don t know why I tried to sabotage my day
I wanted everything my own way

I wanted it all my own way, so don t apologize
I learn to devise these ways of explaining away

Happenstance, you don t let me take a stand
And it sits inside on the great white picket fence deep inside
Someday that fence is going to fall in your yard
And I hope you didn t plant anything too precious too close to the boundary

It s starting to sound like it s time to sign off
But for once, I feel like something might have happened

Maybe I can t show this to you
Maybe I can t show you everything
Some things have to be precious and pure
Some things have to stay inside of me

Or else I ve given everything away
I wanted it all this way
I learn to devise these ways of explaining away

So don t blame me, I won t blame you
It s just the first drag of the day
