It took a little while to recognise the pain And it’s only burning wood, but I love the flame I’d pay more attention if it cost a bit less So I only took a little cos there’s not much left I had an empire in a paperweight But it dragged my under and sealed my fate And I know I’ll be okay, but I’m not right now I’ll work my way out if I can work out how I won’t be great But maybe I can just be grateful Making a little living from a fable Before I get laid down low Show me the money I promise I’ll trade every penny Starting now for a century Before I’m the last to go And if not next year, Then maybe next leap year Well I’ve heard a lot of smart things in my life Like you only need a parachute to skydive twice And without bad luck I’d have none at all So I’ll pack my chute and survive survive thefall But I’ve got a good feeling walking down the road Of a changing wind and and my heart rate slowed Just little more time to figure it out Four years more or thereabouts I won’t be great But maybe I can just be grateful Making a little living from a fable Before I get laid down low Show me the money I promise I’ll trade every penny Starting now for a century Before I’m the last to go And if not next year, Then maybe next leap year

Every room in this house is haunted I’m quite taken by the view It lies between the sand and the sea I’ve got nothing else to do It started with a bonfire It’s ending with a twist A hundred million paths can cross But nothing quite like this I know how this story ends, So I’m not going to read the last page A book left on the table A gun left in the drawer An hourglass I’ve never seen I’m not hungry anymore Don’t take me to the garden I’ll watch the sea from here We’re looking at the same moon rising Up from different spheres I know how this story ends, So I’m not going to read the last page
