"Scary Envelope"

Are you sitting comfortably and are you listening subconsciously?
Are you buried in complacency?
Is there someone who loves you thinking wait and see?
Have you let her down so much that she is beginning to resent your touch?
Did you put empty pursuits before her?
If she leaves you, could you really blame her?

You should have got out of bed and gone and got a real job instead
Oh yeah, you should have done something with your life instead of writing songs like this one
Here comes another one
You should have stopped smoking the green, you could have been living all of your dreams
You took it out on your poor lover and your liver
As another delivered scary envelope scared the shit out of
You should have, would have, could have but you didn't but now look where you are
You should have, would have, could have but you didn't and now look where you

Are you scared that now it's too late?
Well, don't you wait, get yourself out this state
Be a man and pick yourself up and brush yourself off
It's never too late to start climbing up the mountain
And counting the days away from yesterday
And learning from mistakes instead of dwelling on heartaches
Life throws boulders, more as you get older
But you chose this, now focus on progress

You should have got out of bed and gone and got a real job instead
Oh yeah, you should have done something with your life instead of writing songs like this one
Here comes another one
You should have stopped smoking the green, you could have been living all of your dreams
You took it out on your poor lover and your liver
As another delivered scary envelope scared the shit out of
You should have, would have, could have but you didn't but now look where you are
You should have, would have, could have but you didn't and now look where you are

I was selfish and I wish I could turn back the time
And now I've lost the greatest love that I could ever find
I should have known that she would leave me
I left her no other choice but to leave me
But all I know is that that part of me is dead and gone
Just consider this song as a word of warning
A lonely life is dawning
I wasted time just yawning
You could lose it all come the morning

You should have got out of bed and gone and got a real job instead
Oh yeah, you should have done something with your life instead of writing songs like this one
Here comes another one
You should have stopped smoking the green, yes, you could have been living all of your dreams
You took it out on your poor lover and your liver
As another delivered scary envelope scared the shit out of
You should have, would have, could have but you didn't but now look where you are
You should have, would have, could have but you didn't but now look where you are
