Lyrics

[Intro]
[rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming, G major]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals enter, tenor]
Oh man, you are the one
Carrying the sun in your jaw
[clean electric guitar enters with melodic fills]
[Chorus]
Oh man, you tasted from the chalice
Now you've gone too far but you're
[drums enter, steady backbeat]
Someone's friend
Till the end's cold
Someone's friend
[bass guitar enters, following root notes]
I drank it all
[Instrumental Break]
[acoustic guitar and electric guitar interplay]
[Verse 2]
Oh man, I'm happy again
So easy all these days roll by
Now I see that a different part of me
The kind that's born in the morning
[vocals transition to strained, high-energy delivery]
Hey, in the morning
Hey, I got a river to ride
[Bridge]
[increased intensity, driving drum beat]
Hey, you got everyone, everyone
Running up a golden hill
With your barely covered feet
You got sticky in your hair
And you don't give a damn at all
You just walk in where you want
It's the same man every day
And you go crazy
In the dark, lonely place, you go crazy
The same way as me, so I know
[Outro]
Oh man, it's the same way I can't help it
Give myself some days and I can't help it
Give myself some days I can't help it
[acoustic guitar strumming fades]
Oh, where'd you go tonight? Oh, oh
[final acoustic guitar chord rings out]
