Old Gold (Lyrics)

Another year, another favour to owe My track record's not a lot to go on But I'm through with those sad songs. It could be better but I'm over the worst I guess another year of sinking won't hurt... (I almost believe it) I told myself that I'd be out of here by now, I pretend I didn't see that date roll round I pretend this city isn't holding me down 'Cause this place kinda feels like home. I don't want you to go and believe me When I tell you that I should be long gone (It's me I'm deceiving) My heart is heavy but I needed an anchor. I can't say that it's the first time That I'm second guessing every choice that I have made But you drive that message home "You do what you love the most". I know you're telling me what I want to hear I know it gets a little harder to say every year But I've got this dumb idea weighing me down, There must be more to life than working yourself into the ground And believe me when I tell you that it's down to bad luck It's me I'm deceiving Hope for the best, but expect the worst because... I can't say that it's the first time That I'm second guessing every choice that I have made But you drive that message home "You do what you love the most". I can't say that it's the last time I'll long for a sense of security But that ship sailed long ago So here's hoping this thing floats We'll break through the half light Of indecision and uncertainty This can't fall by the wayside I won't give up, I won't let this die. I said it best that first time, I'd rather not succeed than not try. I can't say that it's the first time That I'm second guessing every choice that I have made But you drive that message home "You do what you love the most". I can't say that it's the last time I'll long for a sense of security But that ship sailed long ago So here's hoping this thing floats.
