Bio

Lyrics

When all we know comes crashing down about our feet
The things we love and hold dear losing to defeat
When all we’ve got is walking out the door
Turn around and find someone to adore

That was then, this is now
We can make it all work out
That was then, this is now

Beyond ten years or more of masquerade
I must have missed the ball
When all you’ve got are feelings of dismay
You mustn’t take the fall

That was then, this is now
We can make it all work out
That was then, this is now

If I never give up, if I never back down
If I never give in, I may be on the ground
If I never fall down, I can never get up
To find a better place, not so messed up

It’s Sunday morning, I’ve been sleeping on the floor
A Christian Scientist is knocking at the door
To talk with me, I don’t know why
Get me out of here, say goodbye”
Another cup of coffee as I face another day
Another day of thinking I could make it go away

That was then, this is now
We can make it all work out
That was then, this is now

Ten thousand times a day, I watch the door
To find that she ain’t coming back no more
One thousand sheep can’t help me fall asleep
When no one’s looking, all I do is weep

That was then, this is now
We can make it all work out
That was then, this is now
