Against the Bottom Lyrics

by Grieves

Down with your back against the bottom
There's something about these days that got you caught up
Toss another empty bottle into the bay
What did you say?
What did you do?
When life came crashing down on you
I should've 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 aint got to 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
Of the last things alive that make you bite your lip
Yeah, little girl, little love
Little hold my head to the ground in the mud
Little I'm not coming back up until the whole sky falls down on 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

Down with your back against the bottom
There's something about these days that got you caught up
Toss another empty bottle into the bay
What did you say?
What did you do?
When life came crashing down on you

I shoulda seen it when I came back, yep, I shoulda
Cause you don't see the things that I really wish that you would have
And you don't make the effort I really thought that you could have
To unlock the cage where you put us, and take another stab at it
Fly fishing 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'm gonna float down the river until my last breath's gasp
Yeah, little lock, little key
Little drop my boxes of thoughts into the sea
Little I'm not coming back out until 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 trying to make this home, so just go
And leave me in the place that we'll always know

Down with your back against the bottom
There's something about these days that got you caught up
Toss another empty bottle into the bay
What did you say?
What did you do?
When life came crashing down on you
