There's a knot in my throat that I can't swallow

When I think about you

You're probably driving back right now

Back to your hotel room and now

Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there

And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares

But the bottles will break

But the bottles will break

Oh, the bottles will break

How long will it take?

You have a picture of your daughter in your wallet

'cuz you're always thinking about her

You're wondering how you got so far down

You used to be so sure and now

Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there

And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares

But the bottles will break

But the bottles will break

Oh, the bottles will break

How long will it take?

I've got news for you, brother

It's a long way up

I've got news for you, brother

Freedom is waiting at the top

I've got news for you, brother

It's an easy coast down, but

A coward never forgets the way that he drowns

Because he does it to himself, himself

You may think that I don't like you, you may think that I don't know

The things that you think about and do when you are alone

But you can trust me when I say I can feel your broken heart

And I know you feel overwhelmed and you don't know where to start

But it starts with you, with you

And there's a knot in your throat that you can't swallow

And now you don't know what to do

Your angel wings are probably too big for

Your little hotel room and now

Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there

And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares

But the bottles will break

But the bottles will break

Oh, the bottles will break

How long will you take?
