[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
(Losing a whole year)
(Losing a whole year)
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamn day in bed
(Losing a whole year)
Hiding in your room we'd lay like dogs
And the phone would ring like a joke that's left unsaid
(Losing a whole year)

[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
Rich daddy left you with a parachute
Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute
But your daddy left you with no love
You touch everything with a velvet glove and
Now you wanna try your life with sin
You wanna be down with the down and in
Always copping my truths
I kinda get the feeling like I'm being used
And now I realize that you never heard
One goddamn word I ever said

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
(Losing a whole year)
(Losing a whole year)

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
I took your stuff and put it in the basement
When I found out what the smile on your face meant
I seen you pop that check
Craning your neck at the car wreck
And it always seems that the juice used to flow
In the car, in the kitchen you were good to go
Now we're stuck with the tube
A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
And I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamn day in bed
Hey, bye

[Guitar Solo: Kevin Cadogan]

Hey, bye
(Losing a whole year)

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
If it's not the defense then you're on the attack
When you start talking I hear the Prozac
Convinced you found your place
With the pierced queer teens in cyberspace
When you were yourself there was tasting sweet
Sours into a routine deceit
Well this drama is a bore
And I don't wanna play no more
Whoa why
Whoa, why

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
(Losing a whole year)
I remember you and me used to spend
The whole goddamn day in bed

[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
Hey, bye
Hey, bye

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
