Impossible Years

Written by Bob Bortnick and Mark Linkous

LYRICS
Lately my phone’s like a suicide hot line
People call me up to complain all the time
Well I’ve been that route and it just don’t suit my needs
They tread on angels and they suck up the snakes
I guess they don’t understand what it takes
See a brand new rage, it gets you in a daze
I get the feeling in the daytime or the nighttime
I tell you anything you think you wanna hear
Daytime or the nighttime
Chalk it up to the impossible years
Sally can’t conect so she hit and run
But I’m not gonna let her spoil my fun
You see you and me are in love as lovers should be
I see her try to hide the shape of her rage
And I keep avoiding her like the plague
Yes you’re no damn good and that’s understood by now
Lookin’ for trouble in the daytime or the nighttime
I tell you anything you think you wanna hear
Daytime or the nighttime
Chalk it up to the impossible years
I could tell you a million lies and you’d believe them all
I could tell you everyone adores you when they are standing tall
You can hit me with a flower, kiss me with a brick
Pull me up against a wall, see if I stick
No I just don’t care, there’s nothing in this life there
You know what the problem is, don’t procrastinate
Stop telling me what’s doing, do it and don’t wait
Before you blink your eye this thought will pass you by
She’s in the corner in the daytime or the nighttime
I tell you anything you think you wanna hear
Daytime or the nighttime
Chalk it up to the impossible years
Just chalk it up to the impossible years
Chalk it up to the impossible years
Chalk it up to the impossible years
Chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up
Chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up
Chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up
Chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up
Chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up, chalk it up
