Contrast And Compare (Companion Version)

[Verse 1]
Contrast and compare
Between the busy ones and the ones who don't care
Until there is no one
That you really know

[Verse 2]
So I drift through this day
Of appointments and promises made
They'll all end up broken
And quickly replaced

[Verse 3]
Weeks are slow
Days drag on
Even practise and parties seem long
I guess there's nothing to do, oh well

[Verse 4]
Group of kids
Line of cars
More will show up after the bars close
There's this boredom that drowns everything

[Verse 5]
Bottles break
Music plays
Conversations competing for space
I look for a corner
Or a quieter room

[Verse 6]
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 gonna say them
Yeah, I made that mistake before

[Verse 7]
On the stairs
She grabs my arm
Says, "What's up? Where've you been? Is something wrong?"
I try to just smile
And say, "Everything's fine"
