1229 Sheffield Lyrics - Singles - Brian Vander Ark

Another day of deflating your face into tears 

I shook your mood with the game and a bottle of beer 

The day I fell off of the wagon, you threw up your hands in disgust 

Once again you just get the best of me 

Remember you loved to be held, how you loved to be touched 

And anxiously laughed at my jokes just a little too much 

When I was so careful of cursing while you were still nursing your beer 

Now, it's a shame but I know that 

There's really no use for a brand new convertible 

A mile to your parents', a mile to the store 

Returning our bottles for 10 cent deposits 

I'll drink us two dollars more 

I don't recall anyone placing a gun to our heads 

We traded a trip around the world for a family instead 

Our friends were dispersing while you were still nursing our boy 

And I knew that things had changed 

When the pet names that you once gave me 

We soon gave to the pets 

But I still come when you call them, just to be sure 

Now, there's really no use for a neighborhood cheerleader 

A block party president mowing his lawn 

Whose cabinet is empty with a mind full of nicotine fits 

God, I can't make you love me 'cause I don't have the strength anymore
