Stories/Tell It

What Am I Supposed To Do?

(chorus?)

what am I supposed to do?

running around here without you

ever since you left

I’m not sure what to do

—what am I supposed to do?

its Friday night

I’m at a football game

i look around

nowhere do I see your face

I attend a barbecue

at the machine shed shop

My buddy says brother

Here I’ll grab a mop

take another drink

and shed some tears

when I drive past your block

Oh my god, I’m feeling sick

I can’t help but feel upset

I’m not feeling all that well

Without you here I wonder

—what the hell

Who am I

gonna tell

my stories to?

Girl, I’m so lost

here without you

I guess there’s just one thing

I want you to know

You’re on my mind

My heart is filled with sor-sor-sorrow

Another day

I press on

But I hate the fact

That you’re gone

Who am I

supposed to tell

my troubles to

I cried and cried

Because you’re not

by my side

Hold up right there man

You’re breaking down

Keep it together

I say there’s no slowing down

So I speed up fast

(i go too fast)

Until I crash

I’m breaking down

To everyone

I’ll maintain

There’s no slowing down

I got the news just the other day

Doctor said you can either leave or stay

The choice is yours

You gotta change

I don’t mean to deliver a slight

but boy,

you gotta do things right

I saw your face

in a parked car

You were a stranger

at the liquor mart

I’ve lost the plane

Or I self destruct

Sometimes I feel

You don’t give a fuck

Where have you gone?

This feels so wrong.

Why does living life

Feel like such a strain?

I no longer

Want to play this silly game

Where in the hell

Have you gone?

All of a sudden

Life seems less fun

So check it out

Read the book

Rack em up

I wish I had

One last look

Why don’t you

look me in the eye?

I even wish we had

One last fight

I really miss

Your kiss tonight

It works better

When we both talk

I’ve listened and listened

You don’t say

Now it’s too late.

Are we out of time?

This ain’t a fairy tale

Or a nursery rhyme

There’s just one thing

I gotta try

Where in the hell

Have you gone

I haven’t seen you

In so so long

Without you here

It feels so wrong

Give me direction

Where to go

Now I know

I’m out of luck

I no longer

want to feel this way

What am I supposed to do?

Imagine me here

Without you

I change direction

I count the clock

I prayed and prayed

But you don’t give a fuck

What’s the connection?

Where do I belong?

I go to work

I settle down

My wheels are spinning

In this small town

I look in the mirror

— I can’t stand looking at you

I count my blessings

I drink too much

My friend turned to me and said

“You’re not having fun”

You got me feeling

Like I’m some sub-human

Maybe I

just got stuck

Maybe you pulled me out with your pickup truck

I can’t get you off my mind

I don’t want

to run out of time

Give me some space

I don’t want

to disappear

Without a trace

What am I supposed to do?

Picture me living

Without you

I change directions

I catch the flight

I board the plane

Now that its tonight

Where have I gone?

Where am I now?

It sure feels good

Being in this crowd

I drink a beer

I’m out of touch

Sometimes it all feels

like not that much
