about

Maybe this year we'll get it right

lyrics

Right now it's the middle of the 80s
You still feel like you did back in '75
Wishing that you never fell in love with the man
Who sleeps beside you almost every night
Can't even fall asleep
Without the warmth of his hand on your thigh
Another year is something to celebrate
Pop a bottle of cheap champagne and wait
For it to sink in
All those feelings
It begins
1986
The future's calling
Why don't you break it into bits

Right now it's the turn of a decade
You still feel like you did back in 2009
Wishing that you could fall in love with a man
Who'd sleep beside you almost every night
Can't even fall asleep
It keeps you up at night
Another year to forget and regret
Pop a bottle of cheap fernet and wait
For it to sink in
All those feelings
It begins
Did you dream of this
The future's calling
Why don't you break it into bits
Just like this
Turn the pieces into something you can live with

Don't care too much, it's not worth it
Just keep in touch on the internet
Go buy a house if you wanna
Start a family go start a family
All by yourself in the country
On the water's edge with a white picket fence
And a daughter playing on the lawn
She looks like you and she calls you Mom
