Lyrics
Break Up The Band
I had never missed an opportunity to miss
And no one ever asked too much of me
Good enough to wish I?d been better than I was
But I?m thinkin? no matter what
I was gonna lose the girl
I was gonna break up the band
Now I know why
And I was meant to move to New York
Where I would lose everything
That?s how I got here
Breezy cool and listless I would saunter from the truth
Yeah the future wasn?t what it used to be
Why was I never feeling like a Friday night
Always a Sunday afternoon
?Cause I was meant lose the girl
And supposed to break up the band
At the time I just sighed
And I was meant to move to New York
And supposed to lose everything
That?s how I got here
Had I found me a place
When I was a punk
I wouldn?t have ever let you in
Maybe without the pain
And some of the loss
I wouldn?t know how to begin
