Five Years

Five Years

Early November (The)
(album: The Mother, The Mechanic, And The Path)

Try and pretend
To remember when you´re scared, you say,
"Now, do you think that we could be
These people who lose everything?"
and don´t forget; pretend you´re scared
Pretend it well...

I´m finally at the place I´m staying;
I finally have a place to call my own
I´m trying not to lose my reasons;
I´m planning to remember all I know
And you know if I lose my fear, it comes back;
I hope he knows I tried...

Try and pretend
To erase the past five years you lived;
Now, do you think it would be the same?
Would you make the same mistakes
or would you learn? But then you lose
If it weren´t for you...

I´m finally at the place I´m staying;
I finally have a place to call my own
I´m trying not to lose my reasons;
I´m planning to remember all I know
And you know if I lose my fear, it comes back;
I hope he knows I tried...
That I tried...
That I tried...

Now, do you think that we could be
The kind that take everything?
For better or worse, or what we say?
We know we make the same mistakes;
The ones that really brought us here
Now, don´t you think that we would change?
We always make the same mistakes;
The ones that win, they run this way...

I´m finally at the place I´m staying;
I finally have a place to call my own
I´m trying not to lose my reasons;
I´m planning to remember all I know
And you know if I lose my fear, it comes back;
I hope he knows I tried...
I tried...
I tried...
I tried...
I tried...
