lyrics

We Can Make a Sad Song Last All Year - Lyrics

I’ll try my luck again. Maybe I’ll hit straight lines.
It’s that famous fight within clawing like hell.
Hold on like the common cold. Let ‘em know that you’ve got the grit.
If it rips at your heart and it shakes up your soul it was worth what you spent.

We can make a sad song last all years.
Stumbling backwards, downhill swinging.
Gnashing these old gears.
I can ride a good buzz out all night.
Darling I ain’t too sure. Darling I ain’t too sure.
We can win this ugly fight.

And the first time that we unearthed ourselves that summer night it felt so strange.
And that evening walk back to your house never felt the same.
And we ran like the road wouldn’t end. Gave `em hell until that well was all but dry.
We learned harder than most ever intend.
From choking on the smoke that’s left.
From all our burning, borrowed time.

We can make a sad song last all years.
Stumbling backwards, downhill swinging.
Gnashing these old gears.
I can ride a good buzz out all night.
Darling I ain’t too sure. Darling I ain’t too sure.
Darling I ain’t too sure we can win this ugly fight.
