Contrast And Compare

No, it's seven, so it's five hours before 1998
 Here's the song (alright, we're officially rolling)
 And the last time I-
 One, two, three, one, two, three
 ♪

 Do contrast and compare
 Between the busy ones and the ones that don't care
 Until there is no one that you really know
 So I drift through these days of appointments and promises made
 They'll all end up broken and quickly replaced
 Weeks are slow, days drag on
 Even practice and parties seem long
 But I found myself going
 I guess there's nothing to do, oh-well
 Group of kids, line of cars
 More will show up after the bars close
 There's this boredom that drowns everything
 Bottles break, music plays
 Conversations competing for space
 I look for a corner or a quieter room
 There's no heat (there's no heat)
 In this house (in this house)
 I can't breathe with these words in my mouth
 But I'm not going to say them
 Yeah, I've made that mistake before
 On the stairs, she grabs my arm
 Says, "What's up? Where you been? Is something wrong?"
 I try to just smile and say everything's fine
