1.	Part I - Killing The Minutes 04:04	lyrics	buy track
Looks like all the old bands Bring all of the old friends  Out of the woodwork  Turns out some things stay the same  Doesn’t matter, we’re all here now anyway  Let’s drink some beers and talk about how things ain’t the same  We drift about, our paths cross where they do  I wish they’d cross a little more often to tell you the truth   I’ve missed you, I’ve missed all of you  And the places where we used to kill the minutes  Now look at you and me back right here now  At the places where we used to kill our livers   And so in the right light  Only on a bright night  Once the stars align And history becomes just that  Doesn’t matter, all wounds heal, the past stays the same  And after that last drink, I could swear nothing ever changed  We drift about, our paths cross where they do I wish they’d cross a little more often to tell you the truth   I’ve missed you, I’ve missed all of you  And the places where we used to kill the minutes  Now look at you and me back right here now  At the places where we used to kill our livers   Well I’m sorry for losing touch  I’ve been busy killing the minutes  I think there’s a lot left here for us  But only if life lets us get to it   Well I’m sorry for losing touch  I’ve been busy killing the minutes  In a thousand different ways  Spending 26 years worth of days And I know you’re only doing the same  Whatever it takes to stay sane
2.	Part II - Old Familiar Strange 03:32	lyrics	buy track
And before you even knew another year passed And you're still staring at that same half empty glass That you swore last year that you'd fill up There's just some things the rest of us can't help you with Let me tell you something I hope you already know It's not through lack of trying And when you lay awake at night Staring up at satellites Please know you're not alone there Know I'm looking up too, waiting for it all to subdue After all this place was always abrasive And I know I'm not always there But there's no ocean between us Like the spark of a spliff, I'll be there Burning down roads at 3am Well a man of your age shouldn't ought to have seen his best days Not yet, but then again "could have, should have, would have," And before you even knew, another year passed And you're still staring at that same half empty glass That you swore last year that you'd fill up There's just some things the rest of us can't help you with And I know I'm not always there But there's no ocean between us Like the spark of a spliff, I'll be there Burning down roads at 3am It's an hour one way trip, but I'll be there Like I said I would and always will You know that not much stays the same Except for constant change, old familiar strange
3.	Part III - Settling For Survival 04:29	lyrics	buy track
Moments fulfil their function by dying Just as a new one comes along Sometimes I forget I already do What I was born to do Ha, the fucking meaning of life? We're simply born to live and die Choose whatever meaning you like I'm worried all this life is just settling for survival
