Lyrics
Short Of The Line
verse1:
If I could wash my hands of all my plans,
Stop digging and put the shovel down
Jump out of this grave and bounce outta town
verse2:
If I could stand and watch my life go by
Groovin along saying nothing's wrong
I'm movin up but i'm sliding down
Chorus
If what I'm saying's true
Maybe it's time for something new
I've fallen, fallen, fallen short of the line X2
Short of the line yeah
verse3:
The hole's just getting deeper
Life ain't getting cheaper
I've seem to hit the wall
Hit it harder and faster or climb it and fall
