Well I'm face down Just spent my weeks worth on another round The wise words once said from a dead man Is "this won't last forever" It's such a slow night My memories fade into a shattered light As my best mate from high school's on another high So can this last forever Well you know I tried luck Don't you tell me twice, love That my head is haunted I'm gonna flaunt it Let's open up the last thing I recall I should of listened to my old man Always knew he would understand And I tried, love It's getting late now I best get home to face a breakdown Philosophising me a way out If this don't last forever It's such a long way To relish myself in ecstasy I've spent a lifetime and a half Spitting the same excuses when I already know that they mean nothing How about something And I tried luck Don't you tell me twice, love That my head is haunted I'm gonna flaunt it Let's open up the last thing I recall I should of listened to my old man Always knew he would understand And I tried, love Drifting away So tell me right now, honey Right now, honey, why Drifting away So tell me right now, honey Right now, honey, why I'm drifting away So tell me right now, honey Right now, honey, why I'm drifting away So tell me right now, honey Right now, honey My head is haunted And I'm gonna flaunt it Let's open up the last thing I recall Well I guess we are the lucky ones Who would have thought we'd make it this far And I tried, love And we didn't die
