lyrics

It’s the kinda bad news we want to forget

You see your whole life as an instant regret

In a minor office somewhere

At a major intersection past noon



Cycle emotions as you think who to call

Your voice will be shaking and the tales be tall

We’re all dying inside

never thought that might mean some day soon





You can pull over angry by the side of the road

You can punch at the wheel and kinda explode

It’s not hard to explain

In the end it’s not all of you fault

We all run out of reason to pretend we don’t care

We run out of excuses of why were not there

We all run out of hope

In the end we all run from ourselves




I should have lived better should have saw all the clues

I should have quit smoking maybe eased on the booze

I should have told off my boss and quit my dumb job years ago


It’s so hard to plan life when you can’t read the signs

In the pessimistic times when mortality reminds

The clock is still ticking and non of us know when she’ll blow




doctors leap into action as they probe you and pill you

We can start you on chemo, even though it might kill you

It’s a good thing we caught it when we did

But you’re not out of the woods

You’ll remember the days you weren’t cold in a sweater

You remember the times when feelling a lot better

Wasn’t each conversation

You remember when friends were just friends


It’s already years since you heard in remission

No one could have guessed you’d be in this position

Almost feels like you’re starting from scratch at 50 years old


Friends all got busy New jobs and new lives

Some got divorced new husbands new wives

Let’s hang out real soon and we’re all really glad you pulled through



There’s a time in our life we all ask why we fight

Why we don’t just surrender walk into the light

Life’s what you make it’s too easy to watch it all fall

I would trade all the lessons for a reason to learn

But wouldn’t trade all the knowledge to lose the concern

The burden it is, I wouldn’t trade in this ambitious heart

The burden it is I wouldn’t trade in this ambitious heart
