Bill Mericle - Losing Twenty Lyrics

Going down to your place
On a quiet night
It was a constant in my life
I was laying twenty dollars
On an open flame
Lord were there ashes in my eyes
Coming back home
I wished I'd never gone
Was too long to be away
I'm not even sure anymore
What I'm paying for
Could my conscience be in the way

One day you'll come
To a better place
Isn't that what all
The old books say
But I've been sitting here
For way too long
I've run out of ways to pay

My old alarm clock
Is ringing fear
Driving me into a random rage
But how many times
Must I calm myself
Waiting for someone to turn the page
Undercover taken lying down
Grief is getting older by the day
And somewhere is a key
That lost me
Living on without it's the only way
Living on without it's the only way
