Five Years

How could you let her in like that she
Does not know your name she didn't
See you cry like this she doesn't
Feel this way she doesn't
Have to wait five years' time to see your face

Five years, I'll be
Better

Five years, I'll be
Better

Coffee, sugar,
Please and thank you
I'll be better when I break you

Five years, I'll be
Please and thank you
Much better break you

Take your chances out on me
What would you have me do?
If it's not now then never will it be
I've had a bad year, too.

Can you
Feel it
Swelling in your veins?
Honor us and
honor your name

Five years, I'm kidding myself
Issued and returned as someone else

Coffee, sugar, please and thank you,
I won't have to they will break you down,
Build you back up.

And I only say the stupidest things
Because I know how to keep my own secrets
Have you ever really looked at me?
I only open my eyes
To fill the silence
So don't believe everything you see.

Can you,
Feel it,
Swelling on your veins?
Honor us and
honor your name

Take your chances out on me
What would you have me do?
If it's not now then never will it be,
I've had a bad year, too.
