lyrics

Another well-aimed arrow in the ground
'cause we wrote a couple singles but we never found a crowd
(what's the use then?)
So what was all that about?
If no one hears when I shout
I want to throw up my arms and burn the whole thing down
But I should end what I started
the chords are all charted
and we just worked out all those stops
(and in the mean time)
we had a bar full of nerds
they were singing the words
we could have brought them along
(and in the mean time)
but it's much too late
too late

Another bonfire burning in my heart
telling me I've got to stop before I even get to start
I'm tired of smashing the grapes
out of this box full of tapes
lets hit record and find out
how long it takes to erase
lecture me on the feeling
from a perch on the ceiling
you won't see me at all if you don't look down
(and in the mean time)
whats the meaning, I wonder
all the flash and the thunder
we could ride out the storm
(and in the mean time)
but it's much too late
too late
too late
oh, we're too late
