Against the Bottom Songtext
Down with your back against the bottom/
There's something about these days that got you caught up/
Toss another empty bottle into the bay/
What did you say?
What did you do?
When life came crashing down on you/
I should've seen it when you broke down/
Stop and listen, and stop acting like you don't have a position/
Cause I could see it from the jump when I kissed you/
And feel it through the walls that you constantly put your fist through/
You're pissed, but you aint got to fight like this/
Life isn't worth a dime with a knife sliced wrist/
Spent a whole bunch of time trying to write your list/
Of the last things alive that make you bite your lip/
Yeah, little girl, little love/
Little hold my head to the ground in the mud/
Little I'm not coming back up until the whole sky falls down on me and breaks my trust/
Now run, and think about it all, think about the last chance given and the first round fall/
And if that can't get you back to where you start just call/
And meet me in the place where we always are/

Down with your back against the bottom/
There's something about these days that got you caught up/
Toss another empty bottle into the bay/
What did you say?
What did you do?
When life came crashing down on you/

I shoulda seen it when I came back, yep, I shoulda/
Cause you don't see the things that I really wish that you would have/
And you don't make the effort I really thought that you could have/
To unlock the cage where you put us, and take another stab at it/
Fly fishing for the catch, with my heart tied onto the only line that you cast/
And if I don't sink this raft right now I'm gonna float down the river until my last breath's gasp/
Yeah, little lock, little key/
Little drop my boxes of thoughts into the sea/
Little I'm not coming back out until the whole world stops in its tracks and admits its defeat for good/
Back to the shackles, back to the comfort of the things that attack you and make you cold/
I'm over trying to make this home, so just go/
And leave me in the place that we'll always know

Down with your back against the bottom/
There's something about these days that got you caught up/
Toss another empty bottle into the bay/
What did you say?
What did you do?
When life came crashing down on you/
