Radio rock on the jukebox is the soundtrack tonight
Townies taking shots with their smalltalk, but they're no friends of mine
A booth in the back and a glass of Jack, my only company here
They call me Houdini 'cause the friends I had, well I made 'em all disappear
I've been living with a noose around my neck
Too afraid to take another step
I'm learning how to live with my regrets
And I haven't found a better way yet
Someday, find a way to carry all that blame
Someday, find a way to bury all that shame
If that ain't bad enough, I'm the one making all of my bad luck
I've been trying my best now to keep this thing afloat
Cracked open the band fund, but I spent it all on blow
Now I'm living with a noose around my neck
Too afraid to take another step
I'm learning how to live with my regrets
And I haven't found a better way yet
Burning out, head full of doubt
They say shake it off and try again
It's hard to know where to begin
When you're losing light and wearing thin
Another day, another ache
Another promise made to break
Another fool-hearted mistake
One more lesson the hard way
But I still wake up with a noose around my neck
Like I'm threatening to take another step
Learning how to live with my regrets
And I haven't found a better way yet
But I ain't gonna give it up just yet
Loosen up the necktie just a bit
And come a little closer to the edge
Don't think that it's the last step I've got left
Someday, I'll find a way to carry all that blame
Someday
Someday
