Oh you might want to tell me if I’m wrong
You may wish to say before too long.
Save it till I’m done, cos’ you’re not the only one.
Oh everyone can tell me when I’m gone.

Oh you might hear of things you don’t agree
And you’ll form your own opinions about me.
Please save it till I’m done,
I can’t be the one they want.
Oh everyone can tell me when I’m gone.

Oh oh…

I took some time to wonder about life
I’d been hoping this year would turn out right.
You know there’s something more, yet you’ve seen this all before.
Maybe everyone will see this when I’m gone.

Oh oh…

It’s been a while since I last prayed to GodA departure from grace, I’d fallen hard.
With everything aside I really messed it up this time.
I hope everyone will save it till I’m done.

Oh oh…

I hope someday you’ll see I’m not who I used to be,
Then everyone can tell me when I’m gone

All this time, seven years have gone by.
Left me out there on my own to survive.

All this time I’ve been waiting on a dime
So I’m told to believe, all this time.
Lift me up. I’m feeling alone.
I am delivered, now I’m ready to go home.

All this time I’ve been waiting on a dime
So I’m called to believe to survive.
All I hear is your voice in my ear
So I’m told, this is life. All this time

I heard you’re back in the cityI see you’re doing just fine.Some people say that you’ve changed nowI heard it through the grapevine.
You’re telling tales of the old timesYou’re making friends I never knew.I wonder do they take your lies,When righteous don’t look good on you?
Take it or leave itI don’t want to hear it tonight.You’re future ain’t so bright.Take it or leave itI just don’t believe in you lies.You’re never gonna see me again.
I’ve only known this as hopelessI’ve seen you’ve done this before.God give me peace from this restlessSo you can’t do this anymore.
Take it or leave it

Cool down Papa, don’t you carry that bag
You’ve been working all day long.
I don’t like Monday’s, they’re becoming a drag
Don’t keep me waiting up all night long.

Why don’t you use me, Before they use me up?

A lot’s gone missing since the breaking of day,
I’ve been driving for four days now.
I keep on asking what the doctor would say,
I keep on choking, cos’ I’m too proud.

Why don’t you use me…

So if you see me in a couple of years
Why don’t you ask me if I’m alright?
All I’m hoping is a couple of beers.
Why don’t you join me, or stand aside?

Why don’t you use me…

Take me back to the house where I grew up again
I remember every moment shared
Times, they change, but the walls remain the same
We were never frightened, cold or scared

Whatever happened to the pictures on the wall?
The scarf you made when the snow began to fall?
The pen marked doorway where the kids were growing tall?
We made this house a happy home

Take me back to the garden of those summer days
Dens to build and new places to hide
These are memories that make me smile always
You were fearless, I was by your side

Whatever happened to the clock that used to chime?
The creaky floorboards on the stairs we used to climb
I’d love to see us as we were just one more time
We made this house a happy home

Whatever happened to the markings on the tree
The summer stretching as far as we could see
I’d love to see us as we were just you and me
This house it was a happy home
This house it was a happy home
