Ben Kweller – Depression Lyrics

Depression Lyrics – Ben Kweller
(feat. Coconut Records)

I’d love to join you but I just can’t try
I’ll be cemented here deep in my depression
And laughing is a waste of time

I come and go, ya know I’m hit or miss
And even when I’m up I can’t shake this depression
It’s like living is a waste of time

Maybe I just haven’t waited long enough
For everything to be OK
I used to pretend that I was strong and tough but
I can’t even get through the day

See my reflection and I start to cry
I take a bite, it gets me high oh my obsession
With eating is a waste of time

The summer air is dancing on my skin
I see your face again, it leaves quite an impression
But ownership’s a waste of time

Maybe I just haven’t waited long enough
For everything to be OK
I can’t find the energy to suck it up and
Hide all these feelings away. Hey hey!

This is how my tears
Bottled up for years
Fill up the sea
Woah
Shaking off the dust
Back when I was just
Happy to be

Ooooh
A new day’s coming
Ooooh
A new day’s coming for me
