Tears Over Beers

When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so

I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones

That girl who's next to me, she found herself bored to tears

She realized that if she wanted conversation, she's out of luck for three more years

When I moved away from home, 100 miles or so

I knew a change had grown inside my awkwardly long limbs and bones

That girl who's next to me, she's friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty

But all she has to say is a meat head-themed monologue on why Brad ran away

She said, "All I can hope for is for me to get better

Because all I can take is no more

I'll win him back again, we'll be lovers, best friends

He won't need no other woman like he did way back when he was with me"

He needed more than me

I'm friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty

But he needed more than me

When I felt that I should leave, we'll call it midnight or so

I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in her bones

That girl who's next to me, she don't know her worth in this town

Because her face starts to shine when that meat head behind me

Is grinning as he's checking her out

I said, "All I can hope for is for you to get better

Because all I can take is no more

I'll hide where I can, away from you and your friends

Leaking tears over beers once again"

Leaking tears over beers once again

Leaking tears over beers once again
