Portrait Of A Cigarette Smoker At Age 19 Lyrics - Less Than Jake

I used to be a stereotype 

Half alive with half open eyes 

With a one track mind 

And a flawed design 

Feeling like I was lost 

At sea at only the age of 19 

Floating around in alcohol and apathy 

Taking in too much caffeine and nicotine 

If we make it out of here alive 

Just say you won't look back to see 

Just who we left behind 

We're all doing just fine 

We were always the ones laughing last 

We were never the ones looking back 

We were always the ones to say that 

We're all doing just fine 

I used to be a stereotype 

Someone you'd never recognize 

With fingers so yellow 

That it matched the yellow skies 

And there was a few things I memorized 

>From all those blurry times 

Like bottles clinking under blinking signs 

And a few last words from lost friend of mine 

If we make it out of here alive 

Just say you won't look back to see 

Just who we left behind 

We're all doing just fine 

We were always the ones laughing last 

We were never the ones looking back 

We were always the ones to say that 

We're all going just fine 

Words to live by 

We're doing fine
