walk it off
you win some you lose others
step to the plate
this ones for my brothers
gone too soon
they dont even say the rest
and i cant shake the feeling
one day im next

gotta roll with the punches
but they just keep comin
i still dont wanna fight
but im all done runnin
so the devil comes at me
but the needles got a thread
and the devils got a point
dont be living for the dead

--------------------------------------

walk it off
write a line before the play
i know i aint supposed to
face the night before the day
but i just keep thinkin
all the things i cant do
when the lights turn on
whats it like for you?

what kind of interface
do we use up there?
can we touch someday?
is there wind in your hair?
whos tugging the strings
that keep pullin me back?
what fire do i see
when my dreams fade to black?

walk it off
walk it off

--------------------------------------

all of the signs i didnt know
was it time for you to go
were you ever coming home?

all of the gods i dont believe in
hold the life you had to leave and
are you just a fading memory?

--------------------------------------

sometimes you make choices
and your choices make you
i thought we were made men
but it wasnt true
i saw grief on a cop show
that was all i knew
i said you dont get over it
you just get through

our folks said praise the holy ghost
but i think
theres a ghost and a hole
where a life should be
who are you? i dont know
all the shit they wouldnt tell me
hell all i could do was quote
what someone wrote for tv

our brother had a kid
we dont see her much
wonder if youd be a stranger
you know that dad got punched?
you'll see him someday
i aint ready for that
the heart attack hit worse
than a baseball bat

move along
not all american but a reject
id walk it off
but i would even get respect
if i came out to you?
come back from outer space man
the last joke we shared
was a pic of oprahs face

--------------------------------------

walk it off
write a line before the play
i know i aint supposed to
face the night before the day
but i just keep thinkin
all the things i cant do
when the lights turn on
whats it like for you?

what kind of interface
do we use out there?
can we touch someday?
is there wind in your hair?
whos tugging the strings
that keep pullin me back?
what fire do i see
when my dreams fade to black?

walk it off
