Lyrics
Nickels And Dimes
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.
It's been a long time since your salient days
Circumstances have changed your ways
Lost in the city, we were just two kids
And no one seemed to care just what we did
You never thought we were out of time
Now watch while you count the change
What you lost for what you gained
Now all that's left
All that's left
All that's left
Are the nickels and dimes
All those nights singing on the strand
What would you give to have them back again?
We bleed our hearts out but it never paid
Somewhere down the line, you got afraid
You never thought you'd run out of time
Now watch while you count the change
What you lost for what you gained
Now all that's left
All that's left
All that's left
Are the nickels and dimes
I'm just like you
I make the same mistakes
I even break my lucky break
When the party's over
And it's over
All those nights singing on the strand
What would you give to have them back again?
Bled your heart out, but it never paid
Somewhere down the line, you got afraid
You never thought you'd run out of time
Now watch while you count your change
What you lost for what you gained
Now all that's left
All that's left
All that's left
Are the nickels and dimes
All that's left
All that's left
Watch while you count your change
All that's left
All that's left
What you lost for what you gained
All that's left
All that's left
? Just like a purse
All that's left
All that's left
? Times gone from bad to worse
'Cause all that's left...
