Save The Year

We? ve had our share of awkward truths
Over time, mostly whispered under records
Played out in some dim lit bar, close to town
And close to where we both were working
Pretty much the same as now save the year
The route to work and a different name badge
And that? s just where the problem lies
You? re brought to tears and can? t remember how
You got here
Wasn? t it you that said:
Every mistake we make creates another chance
If you? ten years on
Nothing? s changed, but you aren? t you, your heart? s getting harder
You built a house of credit cards to get in pay?
Covers just your debts and your drinking
And disappointments cumulate, and settle in
To take the place of love and laughter
But can? t get in the way of work
Oh god forbid
And don’t, because I know what you? re thinking
Wasn? t it you that said:
Every mistake we make creates another chance
Don’t believe in much these days
But tell me where and tell me when
And I’ll go with you
