Can you let go
of something you know like a number
everyday spaces jammin' up the flowMaybe I'll tire soon of the mire of longing
what's in the place there couldn't be alone
Christ its a long day outWasn't making good time
when I made up my mind to take a wrong way
Taking back steps two at a timeIf you put me off again
what would the new mess that you see before you do..
You never know, you never know
Christ its a long day outForces at work
know me for working like a whipped dog
are they turning a tide
to see if I'll ride another time bombBut if you never come 'round again
what would the new mess that you see before you do
you never know, you never knowGot me one time, I give in for love
got me two times, I give in for nothingLiving with you
I found twenty new ways to be lonely
I say its high time to pray for a new day
Daddy I was right
take a year of my life to think it over
now stranger than true, it faded my hope for youBut if you never come 'round again
what would the new mess that you see before you do
you never know, you never knowHangin' at old Simon's over the avenue
all my keys out
Could you see it from my side
but maybe you won't
