lyrics

I’ve failed a hundred times
just to be where I’m at now
And I’d fail a hundred more
just to kiss you on the bow
Of a ship I had in a dream
Where it was just you and me
And we would lay in the sand
For a never ending summer

I had it all worked out
yeah I thought that we’d go far
But I’ve since changed my address
To a stool right at the bar
Where I sit and drink
All my lonely nights away
And I just try to forget
every promise that we made

Well that summer came and went
And now that’s all in the past
My hearts been broke and mended
And now I’m sure it’s made of glass
There are scratches on the surface And
there’s cracks that run straight through
but some where out there is a repair kit
and a book on what to do

I had it all worked out
yeah I thought that we’d go far`
But I’ve since changed my address
To a stool right at the bar
Where I sit and drink
All my lonely nights away
And I just try to forget
every promise that we made

When you said you didn’t love me
I felt my mind begin to whirl
And now I feel like atlas
With the whole weight of the world
Sitting firmly on my shoulders
And now there’s no reprieve
From the pain I feel in my chest
Every time that I breathe
