lyrics

Another year, another favour to owe
My track record’s not a lot to go on
But I’m through with those sad songs

It could be better, but I’m over the worst
I guess another year of sinking won’t hurt…
I almost believe it

I told myself that I’d be out of here by now
I pretend I didn’t see that date roll round
I pretend this city isn’t holding me down
‘Cause this place kind of feels like home
I don’t want you to go and believe me
When I tell you that I should be long gone
It’s me I’m deceiving
My heart is heavy, but I needed an anchor

I can’t say that it’s the first time
I’m second guessing every choice that I have made
But you drive that message home: you do what you love the most

I know you’re telling me what I want to hear
I know it gets a little harder to say every year
But I’ve got this dumb idea weighing me down:
There must be more to life than working yourself into the ground
And believe me, when I tell you that it’s down to bad luck, it’s me I’m deceiving
Hope for the best, but expect the worst because…

I can’t say that it’s the first time
I’m second guessing every choice that I have made
But you drive that message home: you do what you love the most
I can’t say that it’s the last time I’ll long for a sense of security
But that ship sailed long ago, so here’s hoping this thing floats

We’ll break through the half light of indecision and uncertainty
This can’t fall by the wayside; I won’t give up, I won’t let this die
I said it best that first time: I’d rather not succeed than not try
