Until Tomorrow

Heaven know whats it's like to be old on your own
That's why we stay, holding on when it doesn't make sense
(We're not the same as we were twenty five years ago)

Hello it's me – and guess what? Well I fucked up again
You know the words and the tune and here comes the refrain
Sing along like the first time you heard it from me

And as usual nothing changes
Just bounce the ball
And watch it come back again

I said "I'm sorry' and "please don't leave me"
"I can change – dear god believe me"
Turn the page – it's a new beginning
(Until tomorrow)

We've lost our waists and our sight and our minds and our hair
We see each other naked if we pass on the stairs
And twice a year we get laid if the stars are aligned

I know there's times when you want – quite correctly – to see
Me locked in chains, tossed overboard, and sinking into the sea
But I'm afraid we'll always be too close to the shore

So as usual nothing changes
Just bounce the ball
And watch it come back again

I said "I'm sorry' and "please don't leave me"
"I can change – dear god believe me"
Turn the page – it's a new beginning
(Until tomorrow)
