lyrics

Walk up to the bar - "Say now, what'll it be?
Everyone knows everyone here, so why don't you leave?"
Ignoring the glares, I'm working up my nerve
But she's already dancing with anyone but me

Courage now, the approach. "I think you're in my seat."
"I didn't know - hey, didn't we meet?"
She can't seem to recall, 'cause when you're beautiful, I suppose
It doesn't really matter what people like me believe

'Cause it's a long climb up to the middle of the heap, and I should know
Because I've dug my nails into the rot of the wood, and all I have to show
Are empty bottles, broken reasons, rancid fear and sour grapes
And for once in my life I'd like it to be some other way

Maybe I should just go, there's nothing more I can be
And I'm out of cash, time and reprieves
Rejection sure can sting when you're too scared to even try
But every time I open my mouth I hear the reply
