lyrics

[Verse]
My alarm clock screams
Out of my cellphone
It interrupts my dreams
And leaves me feeling awful
My knee hits the floor
Though that flat air mattress
Make my way to the door
Though the mess of cans and bottles

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause this is just a shitty movie
Actors have all but given up
Not every story needs a hero
If the villain just doesn't give a fuck

[Verse]
So I'll clench my fists
And try to attack
With these broken wrists
I have from defending for so long
I know its never easy
But really should it be this hard
Is there any rhyme or reason
Why things went so wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll do my best to get it
But what are the odds
Because trying to make sense of this
Feels like stealing fire from the gods

[Chorus]
So I'll keep
Playing Wii Tennis in the living room
I don't plan on stopping soon
Cause it reminds me of a time
When only mom and dads lives were in ruin
This is as good as it can get
I hit the ball over the net
I know the dark days are coming
But baby they ain't coming yet

[Verse]
Feeling stuck
Like a war hero in peace time
Out of luck
And all but forgotten
And the longer it goes
The more its just accepted
But I suppose
It's not all that uncommon

[Pre-Chorus]
All the kids that I grew up with
Are settling down as we grow older
Some days I really want that
Others all I care about is counterculture

[Chorus]
So I'll keep
Playing Wii Tennis in the living room
I don't plan on stopping soon
Cause it reminds me of a time
When only mom and dads lives were in ruin
This is as good as it can get
I hit the ball over the net
I know the dark days are coming
But baby they ain't coming yet

[Bridge]
From the start of every morning
To the end of every night
I put you to my lips to try and help me ease my mind
And when my eyes are red enough you might just find
Me playing

[Chorus]
Wii Tennis in the living room
I don't plan on stopping soon
Cause it reminds me of a time
When only mom and dads lives were in ruin
This is as good as it can get
I hit the ball over the net
I know the dark days are coming
But baby they ain't coming yet
