Description
yup still in the polar hole...
There’s no such thing as starting over
There’s no way you can try again
Yet here you sit
Going over and over the worst of it
Thinking maybe this time it will change
There is something that you are missing
You’re sure you can find the key
Between the lines
A secret you missed the last thousand times
And then you’ll finally be free
Oh cherry it was never gonna go your way
You were always going to lose that light in your eyes
If not now then a little later
Oh cherry what you found you couldn’t keep
You were gonna lose it from the very day you arrived
And you know now that you can’t replace it
And in the warm light of your dreaming
It seems like no time passed at all
But when you wake
Cut with the memory of your mistake
How much further is there left to fall?
Oh cherry it was never gonna go your way
An innocence that only grows just to die
So beautiful for a little while
Oh cherry there’s so much you want to say
You were never gonna be the one who survived
But you were always gonna stay alive and awake
To remember
The promises
The hand in yours
The messages
Knowing who did what and why and where
and to honor
the evidence
the relics of the best of friends
Someone has to be the one who still cares
Oh cherry it was never gonna go your way
You were always going to lose that light in your eyes
If not now then a little later
Oh cherry it’s a pity that it’s all you had
But in a century we’ll still be singing about it
And surely that’s not so bad
