Say Anything, Jeremy Bolm, Christie DuPree - Lost My Touch lyrics

Ah oh ah oh

Some say I've lost my touch
At crafting Say Anything songs
I suppose I'll let you take my place on stage
It's not a difficult job to supplant
Young one
And you're twice as insightful at half my age
Just string together lines of smug
Self-loathing bile
Bare the chip, your shoulder holds the weight
Wield your aged thesaurus, bludgeon ignorance
Clutch the awkward fifteen pounds
You've grown to hate

The truth is
One day, you will be greater than I
The truth is one day, I will be eclipsed
The thought of it
Brings a warm smile to my face
Cos I've lived and bled for this

So grapple with your sexual misconduct and
Your drug use in a blunt, acerbic verse
And grate your voice and make
A choice to hibernate
It's the better half of us
That live the worse maybe if you're lucky
You'll shed corporate ties
Out there on your own, no sealed income
With rejects and misfit's for friends
No shot at fame simmering in the glow of the
Angels in your home

The truth is
I'm warm in the blanket of my niche
The truth is how you sing back makes me cry
There are many taught a love
Forgot ain't worth a damn not I
It will keep breathing when I die

What's left to do but keep
Those words and phrases away?
The ones we all knew and
Live in fear to claim
I never say, "Washed up, "
As I prefer to say, "Washed over"
Because you can drown in
The love of yesterdays

Cos you can drown in the love of yesterdays
Because you can drown in
The love of yesterdays
Cos you can drown in the love of yesterdays
Love of yesterdays of yesterdays
