Pretty Angry
Blues Traveler Lyrics

i wish i drank tequila
I wish I could be carefree and enjoy drinking without any worry or remorse.

I wish i stayed up late
I miss the days when I could stay up late and have fun without any responsibilities or consequences.

But lately when the sandman comes You know i just can't wait No lately i can't wait
I have trouble sleeping because I can't wait for the day to be over since it reminds me of my current situation that I don't want to face.

And we packed up all your boxes It's all been hauled away I never stare at walls so bare 'cause something always stays Yeah something of you stays
I helped move you out and now that you're gone, I feel empty and alone. Even though your physical presence is gone, your memories and impact remain behind.

And i want to shout from my guitar Come out come out wherever you are The joke is over open up your eyes A heart like yours it never dies And i found your keys behind your chair I still can see you sitting there This isn't funny don't fool around You let me go... you let me down (chorus)
I'm frustrated and hurt that you left me, but I still want you to come back to me. I see your belongings still around, and it's a reminder of how much you've hurt me. But even though you've left, my love for you hasn't died.

And i guess i'm still pretty angry And i don't want to be I don't know which was the bigger waste of time Missing you or wishing instead it was me
I'm still holding onto anger even though I don't want to be. I don't know if it's worse to miss you or to wish that I was the one who left instead.

I wish i walked on water Pulling rabbits from my sleeve Guessing cards and saving everyone I wish i still believed Oh i wish that i believed
I miss the days when I still had hope and believed in magic, love, and the power to change things around me. Now I'm jaded and tired of trying.

That i could also channel voices That i've endured the burning blade That i could make some of your choices I wish i weren't afraid Of those choices that you made
I wish I had the same courage and confidence as you do. I've been through a lot of pain and suffering, and I wish I could take some decisions back or be braver in my life too.

Like i could give you what you need So ally ally oxen free The game is up and i give in So show yourself so that you can win Come claim your prize and i don't care I still can see you standing there How you could leave, how you could lie You cut me off in mid reply (chorus)
I feel like I failed you and couldn't give you what you wanted or needed, so now I give up and let you do what you want. I'm still hurt and confused by your actions and how you left me hanging without giving me any explanation.

The will to win the urge to race I still can see it on your face Thought i'd keep up but only crashed I wasn't built to move that fast Thought i could match you stride for stride But i was on the other side And holding on to the safety rail With knuckles white complexion pale A could of dust and you were gone Thought i would catch you later on I limped behind your race was won But were you racing or on the run? How you enjoyed, you loved to drive And i'm destroyed... 'cause i'm alive 'cause i'm alive (chorus x2)
I used to admire your drive, ambition, and passion, but I realize that I can never match that intensity or achieve the same goals as you. I tried to keep up with you, but I failed and now you're gone. I wonder if you were running away from me, yourself, or chasing something else. I'm still alive and breathing, but I feel broken and defeated.
