Downhill Both Ways

[Verse 1] I'm sitting on a curb with my greatest fear Outside the discount tobacco and beer Thought if I dove, it would get more clear But it's all brown Oh, half of my friends got a foot in the soil Ballpoint pen and aluminum foil Shuffling off this old mortal coil Just to get out [Verse 2] So if you wanna hop in, I'll give you a ride God, I'd really love if you would make it tonight Try to pick you up around four or five And go downtown [Instrumental] [Chorus] Called it a miracle Now you're learning what a living means When everybody's as miserable as you I don't wanna be cynical anymore Think I'd rather stay asleep Everyone's miserable like me [Verse 3] Brother, if you wanna, we can split our cash For a little fresh tar and fiberglass Shooting the moon about death and tax and gasoline When I give you a promise just to prove it's a con— Tryin' to be honest, I'm gonna get gone In bed with my running shoes on and chasing a bad dream down [Chorus 2] Could've been anything I want There’s nothing that I'm gonna stay You change and then you change back You could be any way you choose What's the matter when it looks the same? Going out and going back? Now it's downhill both ways [Instrumental Outro]
