lyrics

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
