lyrics

What would have been wrong with just sayin’ “so long”
And leaving it there were it laid
Between you and me, we just couldn’t agree
That gold’s always worth it’s true weight

I stepped on a crack and I busted my back,
Just to find that the path is too steep
Now I’m on this broke road embracing a torn soul
That just doesn’t find time to sleep

I’d say that I miss your sweet kisses
I’d say that I miss your advice
But it’d be a lie, so I won’t even try
And I won’t make the same mistake twice

So I think about things, like old ancient kings
And traveling up to the moon.
I sent me a postcard stamped with a growth chart
And things to get done before noon

Right there on that list was the sign that I missed
It warned of perpetual doom
But I see it now, as I fight through the crowd
On my way to the local saloon

I’d say that I miss your sweet kisses
I’d say that I miss your advice
But it’d be a lie
So I won’t even try
And I won’t make the same mistake twice

Oh, it’d be a lie
So I won’t even try
No I won’t make the same mistake twice
