Against The Bottom - Grieves

Tell me with your back against the bottom

There’s somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up Toss another empty bottle to the bay

What did you say, what did you do When life came crashing down on you?

I should have seen it when you broke down

Stop and listen, and stop acting like you don’t have a position

Cause I could see it from the jump when I kissed you

And feel it through the walls that you constantly put your fist through

You’re pissed, but you ain’t gotta fight like this

Life isn’t worth a dime with a knife-sliced wrist

Spent a whole bunch of time trying to write your list

But the (last thing’s allowed?) to make you bite your… lip

Little girl, little love, little hold my head to the ground in the mud

Little I’m not comin' back up 'til the whole sky falls down on top of me And breaks my trust

Now run, and think about it all

Think about the last chance given and the first round fall

And if that can’t get you back to where you start

Just call, and meet me in the place where we always are

Tell me with your back against the bottom

There’s somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up Toss another empty bottle to the bay

What did you say, what did you do When life came crashing down on you?

I should have seen it when I came back, yup

I shoulda…

Cause you don’t see the things that I really wish that you would’ve

No you don’t make the effort I really

Thought that you could’ve

To unlock the cage where you put us And take another stab at it Fly fishin' for the catch

With my heart tied onto the only line that you cast

And if I don’t sink this raft right now

I’mma float down the river 'til my Last breaths, gasp

Yeah, little lock, little key, little drop my boxes of thoughts into the sea

No, I’m not comin' back out

'til the whole world stops in its tracks and admits its defeat

For good

Back to the shackles, back to the comfort of the things that

Attack you

And make you cold

I’m over tryin' to make this home, so just go And leave me in the place that we’ll always know

Tell me with your back against the bottom

There’s somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up Toss another empty bottle to the bay

What did you say, what did you do When life came crashing down on you?
