Here's To The Future

Here's to the future my friends hope I can see you there
We'll have a drink together somewhere, somewhere
Here's to the future darlings whatever may come to pass
I send you with my good graces and that's a fact
What have you got to lose?
Whichever paths you choose
Keep in mind that the fates are kind if you let them be so
And I know you will
Here's to the future brothers raise your cups in the air
Here's to the future sisters and all the unlikely pairs
What have you got to lose
Whichever paths you chose
Keep in mind that the fates are kind if you let them be so
And I tell you no lies
Here's to the future my friends and all that it holds in store
I hope that each day from now on holds more
Holds more
Holds more
Holds more
Holds more
Holds more

I only called you to say I’m here
Why is talking your greatest fear?
Just abuse me I’m here
Do you remember you promised me
Just to be good and never leave
All I do now is grieve
Goodbye sweet love
Be gone from here
Be lost tonight
It’s better to be alone
For you you’re cover’s blown
My love has been denied
My love has been denied
Oh I wish you’d demand of me
Did I tell you eternity’s a shorter time for me?
Oh you won’t dine with me
The knife and fork are complacency
You set the table for three
Goodbye sweet love
Be gone from here
Be lost tonight
Your cover has been blown
You’re free to be alone
But if you change your mind
Your love won’t be denied
Your love won’t be denied
Your love won’t be denied

Any Sign At All

Tell me what went wrong
Do you want me not to hear you when you cry?
Did you listen when he spoke?
Am I the question mark you hoped for? No?
Sorry
I’ll go away
Don’t come home early today
The bastard wasn’t cool
Did he play you like a harbor to a fool?
Though your stomach wasn’t in it
As he played you to your limits
As if having them’s what mode you feel secure
You claim not to want me, are you sure?
Any sign at all, I’ll dream it you’ll live it
Any sign at all and I’ll give it I’ll give it
Any sign at all, if it’s a sign of trouble
I won’t stand in your way when it comes your turn to stumble

Too True
05:42
|

I can be silent no longer
I can’t keep my tongue tied
I’m not one to silently pray
But you loved him first so of course I come second
But now I’ve come forth just to say
That I’m sick of my life ’cause it ’s always revolving
Around someone who’s threatening to leave
I’ve been looking for something
From you who have nothing
Nothing to give or receive
And it’s true
It’s too true
It's true
It's obviously, undeniably true
So you’ll go to him and I’ll never win
And I’ll settle for somebody else
And make their life empty with my disappointment
That I wasn’t the one who could help
Will we be thirty-two and just getting wasted
With whoever is left every night
And looking at successful couples with children
And thinking that could never be my life
I want a new deal I demand a rewrite
This script isn‘t going my way
And I question the morals of the writer who tortures
Me as I inhabit their play
Am I so
Am I so bad?
Am I so bad?
Am I so bad?
The sick thing is I feel about you
The same way you feel about him
And it’s wrong to give up when there’s a glimmer of hope
That it won’t work out or in your case it will
My heart is stocked like my parents’ refrigerator
Just open it and eat your fill
But I grow back slower than an alpine meadow
But only in your footprints am I killed
And it’s true
It’s too true
And it’s true
It’s too true
And it’s true
It’s too true
Am I so bad?
Am I so bad?
Am I so bad?
Am I so bad?
Am I so bad?
Am I so bad?
Am I so bad?
Am I so
Am I so bad?
Am I so
Am I so
Am I so
Bad

Take Care
03:20
|
|||
Take care not to hurt yourself
Beware of the need for help
You might need too much
And people are such
Take care, please, take care
Some people read idea books
And some people have pretty looks
But if your eyes are wide
And all words aside
Take care, please, take care
This sounds a bit like goodbye
In a way it is I guess
As I leave your side
I've taken the air
Take care, please, take care
Take care, take care
Take care, please, take care
Take care
Take care, take care
