Break Even
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.
Hanging around the diner just trying to break even
Standing on a corner just waiting to collect all of the money
That you owe me
Hello honey
How have you been?
Well I didn't know that you'd been lost
I couldn't see the difference
Between what you had and what you owed
You didn't seem to care or even worry
About the distance
Back when it mattered
But now it doesn't
And we won't be going too much further
And we won't be breaking much new ground
And we won't be feeling that much freer
From here on out
Well I was hoping that what we had might last
If only for a while
Is it good to see a long lost friend
Or would you rather not go through the trouble
To fake a smile
Hey maybe next time don't even bother
I get up to see you out
And watch you through the window
But I'll be thinking to myself
That nothing's really changed
Moving in circles somewhere behind me
It used to matter
But now it doesn't
And we won't be going too much further
And we won't be breaking much new ground
And we won't be feeling that much freer
From here on out
From here on out
From here on out
