Infinite Chances - A Lot Like Birds

When I look back at all the times that I somehow let you pass me by

I was so convinced that we’d align, so convinced that we’d remain

I think a part of me is still so sure, if I somehow found the words

I could make it all better, you could call on me because

If it’s all bad but you live with it

When you know it’s not right, then come home

If it’s all bad, if you’re miserable

You have me to fall on

And now that everything is pulled apart, I can’t help but replay the start

If I’d only said a certain thing;

if I’d done things differently

He picked you up when you were weak enough, gave attention shaped like love

Made you almost something, sold you in on giving up

If it’s all bad but you live with it

When you know it’s not right, then come home

If it’s all bad, if you’re miserable

You have me to fall on

I’m not convinced it’s over, don’t know what else to do

I’m not convinced he’s closer

That he will ever be the way you thought of me

I always thought I would have the advantage

That I could take you for granted and still take you far away, make you mine

again — make up for all of this

I know things never worked out how we planned them

Thought the infinite chances had still surrounded me — that you’re bound to me

the way I’m bound to you

If it’s all bad but you live with it

If it’s not right, then come home
