We're Gonna Be Here for a While

[Intro]

Hi, Garth

Hi

Where's the clerk?

I know, I'll use the "may I help you?" riff

[Verse 1]

I've got this tightness pushing on my throat

And I've got these feelings that I can't let go

I'm causing all this friction that I can't undo

I'm not ready to see this through

I got this

[Chorus]

I'm gonna need a glass of water

We're gonna be here for a while

I thought this all out in the shower

Now my words won't come out right

I'm gonna need a glass of water

We're gonna be here for a while

I thought this all out in the shower

Now my words won't come out

[Verse 2]

And I never wanna feel this way again

I'm tired of worrying all my friends

'Cause when they ask about my plans

I just start mumbling nonsense

And I never wanna feel this way again

I'm tired of worrying all my friends

'Cause when they ask about my plans

[Bridge]

I've got this aching deep inside my bones

And I've got these thoughts that I just can't shake loose

My mind is hazy, but I know the truth

I think it's time that I pay my dues

[Outro]

You're gonna need a glass of water

We're gonna be here for a while

If you keep running, why even bother?

And I'm not scared if this ends tonight

You're gonna need a glass of water

We're gonna be here for a while
