This Lifeboat Is For Gold, Not People

You were first to move on with your life

Now you question the choices you made

Are you thinking of what could have been?

You’re not desperate enough for a change

But you crave a new song and a dance

And you ain’t got no help on the way

Cause you gave up when things were okay

There’s a message i been trying to send

You just holding a flame under what won’t bend

And you might be right things might have changed for good.

Hey, slow down.

“it’s a one time thing” is what you said

We’ll get in and get out and we’re done

But you can’t think of one reason why

It’s a job and a chore and a drag

He’s a mess and we know how it goes

But you’re always so set in your ways

Well the right choice won’t always feel great

There’s a message i’ve been trying to send

You’re just holding a flame under what won’t bend

And you might be right things might have changed for good.

You might be right things might have changed

We learn from the past and change our ways

No slow down

It’s my turn now
