Another Year

Текст песни Minor Majority - Another Year

They were working together in the garden
On a lazy warm weekend
He was tending to the roses when she noticed
How his hair had thinned
And maybe it was just the thought of time
Half-empty hour glasses, they're not granting us a second try
Suddenly the changes seemed so small
All her aspirations, all her dreams felt like she'd spent them all

Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
Without a word

There was a time when all my dreams
They seemed so feasible and real
It's not that long ago
But now I can't recall just how it feels
Yesterday, we were all I knew
Painted in the present tense
I think in terms of me and you
These fancies, they tend to grow away
But don't you ever get the feeling
We are running out of days?

Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
Oh, good girl gone bad
You must have heard

They sat together on the grass
And watched the evening sky grow dark
She asked him for a cigarette
And there and then laid bare her aching heart
"We'll work it out", he said and pulled her close
She heard the pressure in her chest
Release a quiet "I suppose"
Stuck between his jaws, a trembling sound
He felt he had to ask
"Does this mean we're on shaky ground?"

Good love gone bad
Good love gone bad
Oh, good love gone bad
I'm out of words

You always said
Wait around for me
Wait around for me
You always said
Wait around for me
Wait around for me
You always said
You'd wait around for me

I thought that things would sort themselves
If I could only clear my head
It took another year of disappearing
'Til I found home again
Sometimes he still asks me if I'm true
So I've found a way to answer him
Without having to tell the truth
"You're minded as a stranger"
That's the phrase he used
Now I've found a way to look at him
That won't belie the words I choose

Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
Good girl gone bad
