Grieves - Against The Bottom Lyrics






Tell me with your back against the bottom
There's somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up
Toss another empty bottle to the bay
What did you say, what did you do
When life came crashing down on you?

I should have seen it when you broke down
Stop and listen, and stop acting like you don't have a position
Cause I could see it from the jump when I kissed you
And feel it through the walls that you constantly put your fist through
You're pissed, but you ain't gotta fight like this
Life isn't worth a dime with a knife-sliced wrist
Spent a whole bunch of time trying to write your list
Of the last things alive that make you bite your… lip
Little girl, little love, little hold my head to the ground in the mud
Little I'm not comin' back up 'til the whole sky falls down on top of me
And breaks my trust
Now run, and think about it all
Think about the last chance given and the first round fall
And if that can't get you back to where you start
Just call, and meet me in the place where we always are

Tell me with your back against the bottom
There's somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up
Toss another empty bottle to the bay
What did you say, what did you do
When life came crashing down on you?

I should have seen it when I came back, yup
I shoulda...
Cause you don't see the things that I really wish that you would've
No you don't make the effort I really thought that you could've
To unlock the cage where you put us
And take another stab at it
Fly fishin' for the catch
With my heart tied onto the only line that you cast
And if I don't sink this raft right now
I'ma float down the river 'til my last breaths, gasp
Yeah, little lock, little key, little drop my boxes of thoughts into the sea
No, I'm not comin' back out 'til the whole world stops in its tracks
And admits its defeat, for good
Back to the shackles, back to the comfort of the things that attack you
And make you cold
I'm over tryin' to make this home, so just go
And leave me in the place that we'll always know

Tell me with your back against the bottom
There's somethin' 'bout these days that got you caught up
Toss another empty bottle to the bay
What did you say, what did you do
When life came crashing down on you?

    I went and saw him yesterday, I met him, I got his autograph, he was the most energetic, wholehearted, genuine person I've ever met.

  48. b.... ....

    I saw this dude a couple weeks ago and I have never seen someone who loves his job as much as him. It was fuckin insane how much energy one guy can bring to a crowded bar. For s solid hour+ he was bouncing around the stage even more than Ben Wells. That's fuckin saying something.

    I have to be at least a thousand of these views

  56. N.... R....

    JCPenny never looked or sounded so good ;-)

  57. M.... M....

    Right, where'd that 88 Keys vibe go?? Gotta give it up for all the pretty ladies in the video though.

  58. Y.... ....

    70 people don't know real music.

  59. E.... R....

    This music saves lives. If you don't like it you have never been in any position to judge another human being so STFU! #RSE Fuck swag and yolo too.

    Hipster's hip hop.

  62. f.... d....

    Sad about how his newer stuff is sounding :/

  63. T.... T....

    It's kind of intense how closely the two verses in this song parallel my experiences in my last relationship and the current situation I'm going through with a girl. Thank creative force for music you can relate to when your going through confusing times in life

  64. A.... ....

    This song is flawless.

  65. R.... S....

    Bijan, I totally agree with you

  66. X.... N....

    Used to bump this all day

  67. B.... N....

    this just proves that you dont have to rap about sex, drugs, chicks, money, cars, racks? and that you can be a star by not doing any of the above, lets see if we can get this to top comment.

  68. A.... ....

    ... Obama said that?? O.o

  69. A.... ....

    Rhymesayers is the label Grieves is on. Other people on it are Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Eyedea and Abilities, etc.

  70. B.... G....

    Does hip-hop need more ugly rappers? Naw....

    Just more beautiful writers.

  71. M.... ....

    Tell that to Steve Buscemi

  72. B.... S....
