Song lyrics

It's really too bad,
He became a prisoner of his own past,
He stabbed a moment in the back
With a brown thumb tack
That held up the list
Of things he gotta do.
It's really no good,
He's moving on before he understood
He shot the future in the foot
With every step it took
From the faces that he knew
Cause he forgot to look

[Chorus:]
Better staple it together
Then call it bad weather,
Staple it together
Then call it bad weather,
Staple it together
Then call it bad weather,
Staple it together
Then call it bad weather, mmmm

Well I guess you could say
That he don't even know where to begin
Cause he looked both ways
But he was so afraid
Diggin deeper through the ditch
With every chance he missed
And the mess he made,
Cause hate is such a strong word,
And every brick he laid
A mistake, they say
That his walls are getting taller,
His world is getting smaller

[Chorus]

It's really too bad,
He became a prisoner of his own past,
He stabbed a moment in the back
With a brown thumb tack
That held up the list
Of things he gotta do.
It's really no good,
He's moving on before he understood
He shot the future in the foot
With every step it took
From the faces that he knew
Cause he forgot to look

[Chorus]

If the weather is better,
We should get together,
Spend a little time
And we can do whatever,
And if we get together
We'll be twice as clever,
So staple it together
Then call it bad weather, mmmm
