Brand New - Millstone [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I used to be such a burning example
I used to be so original
I used to care, I was being cared for
Made sure I showed it to those that I love

I used to sleep without a single stir
Cause I was about my father's work

[Chorus]
Well, take me out tonight
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A milestone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

I used to pray like God was listening
I used to make my parents proud
I was the glue that kept my friends together
Now they don't talk and we don't go out

I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed
Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it

[Chorus]

Throw me that lifeline,
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A milestone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

Never hit the brakes
There's no time to save him
He just ran out in the street
Anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
Sure as hell paid for that mistake

Woah

[Chorus]

To save my life tonight
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A milestone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
