Next Time

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

[CHORUS (x2):]

You can always get it right next time, next time

You can always get it right next time

You can count on me to mess it up

You can count on me to let you down again

And in time you'll see that I'm your only friend

[CHORUS (x2)]

Comfort in community obliterated

Given opportunity I hesitated

Even my humility's humiliated

[CHORUS (x2)]

Next time, next time

When you die they make a list of every love you never kissed

Of each regret and each mistake

Every choice you'll fail to make

Oh well...

Oh well...

Oh well...

It's a shame I have to wait until the ending

Everything I've yet to break is surely bending

Every vow I ever take is just pretending

That this mess I make is worth defending

[CHORUS (repeat)]
