Half a Million (Flipped) The Shins

[Verse 1]
I make myself a promise
Then break it every night
I'm feeling loose and life don't make no sense
I use my brains to build a fence
'Round the claim I stake
I take the drugs but the drugs won't take

[Verse 2]
I took a pledge to grow up
Then drank enough to make me throw up
On all my dearly disappointed friends
I'm just too lazy to make amends
With you anyway
That's why the pattern still remains

[Chorus]
There's half a million things that I'm supposed to be
A shelter in the nighttime
A punk running free
And if it gets too deep
I reach for my guitar
And if I try hard

[Post-Chorus]
I find something I can really drop into
And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing
'Cause everything is something next to nothing
As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free
