Been Up

I've been up
for thirty nine hours,
up, been up
for nearly two whole days
with only this conversation
to keep me from crash-and-burning,
only this conversation
and the coffee in your pot.

You tell me our middle-class lives are falling apart.
I tell you a middle-class life isn't something I've got.

I've been up
for thirty nine hours,
up, been up
for nearly two whole days
with only this conversation
to keep me from crash-and-burning,
only this conversation
and the coffee in your pot.

You tell me that every day you're slipping into debt.
I tell you I'm already in up to my neck.

I've been up
for thirty nine hours,
up, been up
for nearly two whole days
with only this conversation
to keep me from crash-and-burning,
only this conversation
and the coffee in your pot.

I've been up
for thirty nine hours,
up, been up
for nearly two whole days
with only this conversation
to keep me from crash-and-burning,
only this conversation
and the coffee in your pot.

I don't want much. I never did.
Remember how, when we were kids,
it all seemed so easy?
It wasn't quite so easy.
I don't want much. I never did.
Remember how, when we were kids,
it all seemed so easy?
It wasn't quite so easy.
I don't want much.
