lyrics

one of these days
you get to go again
tie your hair in knots again
place your fingers on the rail
try not to lose the steps
smile if you see someone
on the way down
the weather’s dead
the work’s cheap
the neighbourhood thrives on
pylons and apologies
sorry about your friend
and the sweat you can’t wash off

one of these days it might all
all seem like paint
chipped off your nails
like an envelope or a bad night
you were saving for later
like something you meant
to say to someone better
you were waiting til the
sink was empty
which seemed like the
right strategy at the time
and now seems like a good
excuse for watching water
pour down the drain

he’s unmoored and overread
consumed by archives
worried about a girl who won’t call back
one of these days
you dive the lake
when no one’s looking
buy a friend a drink
toss the can
the mess was bigger than anticipated
compulsion and bad manners handed down
you can’t lose the years
or stop them dripping
but you look good lately
happy enough to disagree
and go again eventually

and leave only the best behind
leave only the world
and leave only the best behind
and leave only the
