same time next year?

it's the curse of a season

well versed in despair

each year i come back home alone to find you there

in the smoking garden

the years fall like snow

you had my hungover heart tied up in a bow

and as i gazed into your eyes

on that cold december night

i almost saw the other life we promised to live

but never did

your dad told me you're married

mum said you're thinking kids

i'm still the mess i was in 2006

i've just got lines around my eyes to prove i've lived

and as i gazed into your eyes

on that cold december night

i almost saw the other life we promised to live

oh

we never did

all your friends sing songs in silence

you make excuses and you say it's time to think

you look so pretty in the sack

oh lord

we're getting older and this song is about her
