It takes a long time to kill a man Fifty-five years at least Until he breaks down Starts to look underground To go off, and get him some peace I want to die a lot quicker then that If that's my only way out I've been counting up the coast Getting up on that cross I want to know what this is all about Father Time steals our days like a thief There's no price that I wouldn't pay to get some relief I've become the empty shell Of a man I don't like so well I am a living, breathing hell Come on and resurrect me I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine It didn't seem to help She's got a pretty face with her wedding lace But I'm still waking up with myself I know what it means to choke it down Down until your legs get weak I know what it's like on a Saturday night To be alone in a crowded street Father Time steals our days like a thief There's no price that I haven't paid to get some relief I've become the shell of a man I am beginning to understand I've forgotten who I am Come on and resurrect me Resurrect me Come on and resurrect me
I thought maybe he was referring to the mid-life years in general when people often start to get bored of their career, overwhelmed with the business/meaningless of life, etc. and go, like, live in the woods for a year or something. Maybe it's a personal reference to someone in his life. I don't know
They may have intentionally done that similar or to how Where I belong is really similar to Afterlife? Or something like that, i know it's on of there other songs but it was intentional for a fact in that case
Love this song ❤
One of the underrated masterpieces by our man, Jon Foreman.
It takes a long time to kill a man
Fifty-five years at least
Until he breaks down
Starts to look underground
To go off, and get him some peace
I want to die a lot quicker then that
If that's my only way out
I've been counting up the coast
Getting up on that cross
I want to know what this is all about
Father Time steals our days like a thief
There's no price that I wouldn't pay to get some relief
I've become the empty shell
Of a man I don't like so well
I am a living, breathing hell
Come on and resurrect me
I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine
It didn't seem to help
She's got a pretty face with her wedding lace
But I'm still waking up with myself
I know what it means to choke it down
Down until your legs get weak
I know what it's like on a Saturday night
To be alone in a crowded street
Father Time steals our days like a thief
There's no price that I haven't paid to get some relief
I've become the shell of a man
I am beginning to understand
I've forgotten who I am
Come on and resurrect me
Resurrect me
Come on and resurrect me
⚡ RESURRECT ME ⚡

Hmmm. Parts sound like they've been ripped straight from Easier Than Love. Self-plagiarism?
Like which part
Start from 0.29.
oh yeah
hmm i can see that that's cool

sounds older than many Bob Dylan songs...
