lyrics
I’m clinging stubbornly to the little momentum I’ve got left
swallowed up by apathy, inertia has me in its debt
redoubling my efforts
still I can’t get my head on straight
I’ve got my resolutions and a brand new checklist
that won’t cooperate
I’m overwhelmed by wasted days
and if you’d been different, well maybe I’d have stayed
but if I’d been different, I wouldn’t have wanted you to change
there was nothing about you that seemed to suggest
there was any reason for me to second guess
and they passed silently, those wasted days
know when to get out, when you’re on top
or as high as you can get
you may not have won the gold
but take your consolation prize and go
and every year I make a plan to be anywhere but here
so determined to drive away that I forget to steer
but there’s no shame in coming home
to rebuild a bridge you burned
as long as you don’t forget the lessons you’ve learned
maybe then, they weren’t wasted days
