Too Big to Fail

Waiting for the towing truck
Guess we forgot to get the oil changed
Funny how bad luck follows on itself
Like a season of hurricanes

So I made a bad joke
And you couldn't force yourself to laugh
I don't really blame you my bitterness showed through
Like a ghost in a photograph

Oh when you doubt my words
I hope you can read between the lines all around my eyes
Oh nothing turned out like you thought it would
And the blame is partly mine
But baby our love
Our love is too big
Too big to fail

Met you in a dark place
Didn't know but I was living there too
Talked about our fascination with a sunken ship
As we listened to the Pogues review

Started as a weekend
Now here we are digging flower beds
I went off the deep end a couple of times
And you painted the furniture red

Oh when you doubt my words
I hope you can read between the lines all around my eyes
Oh nothing turned out like you thought it would
And the blame is partly mine
But baby our love
Our love is too big
Too big to fail

You have to tell me things a dozen times
To store them in my memory
Though I squint even with glasses on
When my vision's gone you're what I'll see

I remember quiet days
Where there was nothing to arrange
Now we wave our arms about shouting orders out
Like traders in a stock exchange

Bet it never crossed your mind
Back when you were born on Groundhog's day
That someday you'd be living it
But the funny thing is there's not a lot that I would change

Oh when you doubt my words
I hope you can read between the lines all around my eyes
Oh nothing turned out like you thought it would
And the blame is partly mine
But baby our love
Our love is too big
Too big to fail
