lyrics

You
You say nothing more to me
Pick up your bag and gave a shake to check your money and your key
Turned on your heel and through the door
Like I’ve seen you do so many times before
You close that door real tight
On me

And I
I got nothing more to do
In about an hour or so my heels will make the same mistake as you
In five days nothing much will change
You’ll still have bills to clutch and everyone the same
You close that door real tight
Again

And you can’t go out tonight
To get drunk and dance and lie
So you tell yourself it’s better in the long run
In the long run

And yeah
It will be better alright
But any money that I spend just seems to start another fight
And every day’s like scrubbing dirt
With living coming second place to work
You close that door real tight
It’s yours some more tonight
Cause that’s the way it’s gonna be

So try not to think of now
It could get easier somehow
It will be better soon
Better in the long run
But you can’t go out tonight
You just get drunk instead and fight
And that’s better somehow
Better in the long run

Cause you wake one day thinking
When’s it gonna begin?
I want something back for the years that I put in

So where do we go tonight?
To get drunk and dance and lie
That that’s better some how
Better in the long run
So where do we go at all
When you just can’t afford to fall?
Gotta tell yourself it’s better in the long run
Tell yourself that it’s better somehow
Tell yourself that it’s better in the long run
For the two of us
For the both of us

Did they get you to change?
Did they get you to waste your precious time?
Did they get you to save?
For nothing but shelter at the end of your days
In the long run
They’ll get you in the long run
In the long run
They’ll get you in the long run
