lyrics

having cake, eating it too
beneath an Elm on 99

Got a place on Whyte Avenue
therein my life could be defined
(I drink with friends too much, I call my family not enough)

Met you while calling a truce
between what is and isn’t mine
(You said you’re here until you’re not, I said I’d save you a spot)

Said that we were paying our dues
pounding pavement for a time

If we stay, then we may
never leave this place again
if we go, we don’t know
what we really want in the end

What’s to lose? What’s to gain?
Is there any joy we haven’t claimed?
Even keel, local game...
Is there anything I’d like to change?

you and I would kill for a view
and we would die to turn the page

all of us are grasping for truth
or contentment if it’s all the same
(I’ve thought about an awful lot, about what is and is not)

you and i are just one and two,
but i think we may be one through ten
(if i didn’t have your hand, I’d have to hold my tongue instead)

Walking home from dive bars with you
We know we’ll be back again


Well if it makes you feel so good
Then maybe you really should
The world is full of what could
be and what would be
if we tried
then maybe we won’t be denied
and all this time we were just waiting to find it
