[verse 1]

In the park at night

The same place that I learned to drive

Decided I was cutting ties

And never came to say goodbye

And it seems true of fate

That I should move on Mother's Day

Crying in the parking lot

Jesus someone make it stop


[pre-Chorus]

Was it all that you wanted and then some?

You couldn’t leave ‘em at all, if you tried to


[verse 2]

At the party, see her glance

Bought her drinks to make amends

Let’s forget about the time we spent waking up in stranger’s beds

That was in a different life, before we knew the bounds of time

That hurries on and never stops

Jesus, someone, make it stop

And my brother, he’s old now

He doesn’t cling to my hand like he used to

So I wonder, have I sold out?

Have I wasted all the moments we’re reduced to?


[Chorus]

Was it all that you wanted and then some?

You couldn’t leave ‘em at all, if you tried to

This is all that i want ‘til my time comes

I never want it to end, but it has to


[verse 3]

So are you old now? did you wise up?

Did you see it doesn’t turn out like you hoped for?

I’m old now, and I’ve dried up

That feeling that it turns out like you’d hoped for

(Bill Murray in Groundhog Day)

{When Chekhov saw the long winter

He saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope

Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life}

I want to live just long enough to miss the minute that you die

Want to live in repetition ‘til like Bill I get it right

And I’ll see you at the finish line and you’ll hobble over

The angry curses, ugly cries and lies all cobbled over

Time goes on, the curses, cries and lies get cobbled over

Time goes on, the curses, cries and lies get cobbled over


[Chorus]

Was it all that you wanted and then some?

You couldn’t leave ‘em at all, if you tried to

This is all that i want ‘til my time comes

I never want it to end, but it has to

Was it all that you wanted and then some?

You couldn’t leave ‘em at all, if you tried to

This is all that i want ‘til my time comes

I never want it to end, but it has to
