Alkaline Trio – Smokestack lyrics
[Verse 1]
Filled myself with soot from top to bottom
I'm a smokestack
Turning blood into booze
Now my liver's on fumes
Little alcoholic
I'm always beating myself up
Why did I have to play so rough?
I tried to get the hell out
And I'm standing in my own way
No, we can't skip school anymore
Do you miss those days at all?
I miss starting up fires
Throwing bottles at trains
Pissing on convenience store walls
Well it was time for me to go home
Let's go and make some flyers for our third floor show
Mom and dad can wait
This is the path that we chose

[Chorus]
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believing, that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life

[Verse 2]
Well, I was scared as hell as I was standing
At that open bar
I saw a life go past that I guess I could've had
But I didn't try very hard
You see, I knew you two would last
Why did you have to jump so fast?
Now put the baby to bed
'Cause it's time for me to go home

[Chorus]
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I'm still believin', that means everything
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?
'Cause I sure don't
You made my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
You changed my life
