Fountains of Wayne - Troubled Times lyrics

When you think you've found
Something worth holding onto
Were you reaching for attention
Hoping she would notice you?
Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans
Like she was returnable
One day would fill your hands

How she loved you all you imagined
Fit so well into your plans

Maybe one day soon it will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

Pining away every hour in your room
Rolling with the motion
Waiting 'til it's opportune sitting there
Watching time fly past you why do tomorrow
What you could never do?

How she loved you all you imagined
All the shit you put her through

Maybe one day soon it will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

And it takes a lot of nerve
To ask how she is doing
Start with a weak foundation
You will end in ruins
The way the days and hours pass
You'll never understand
Falling like rain through your hands

Maybe one day soon it will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
Maybe one day soon it will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
