Already and Anyway

Last night, too much was said

Ended like a melodrama sure, but still this empty bed

And now this is always going to be the place

Where the opportunity was missed

Well let’s add it to the list

Add it to the list and we

Sleep till afternoon, ignore the phone

Deal with it later on, right now there’s dreams of home

We rise to sun and things re-arranged

And the same old world but now it’s changed, changed, changed

He likes to say “Well that’s our generation you see...”

Like he knows what they’d all say

And then he keeps on talking anyway

Old friend, back from far away

Wonders why you didn’t come when you said you would

Says you’ve lost your sparkle - yeah, and he’s right

Says you’ve lost it and it hurts and you just won’t fight

And you say you’ll follow, but your voice goes small

And this shit isn’t funny anymore

He won’t stop talking and you won’t reply

So you sit by the stereo as time bleeds by

He likes to say “Well that’s our generation you see...”

Like he knows what they’d all say

Then he keeps on talking anyway

She likes to smile - blow the whole thing off instead

Like she knows what he’s gonna say

Already and anyway

And this shit makes no sense at all

Sleep till afternoon, ignore the phone

Deal with it later on, right now there’s dreams of home

We rise to sun and things re-arranged

And the same old world but now it’s changed, changed, changed
