lyrics

Night falls
A shadow
Hangs over me like a cloud
The bartender says
I have to stop talking so loud
We both know
This night won’t end well for me
But at the moment it is something that I simply refuse to see

As if I can change
What will happen next
I must correct my ways
It seems so hard, I should tell myself

Yeah, you can grow
Thought you should know
Oh it don’t have to be this way forever
And you can change, and rearrange,
This life
Don’t have to go as planned... yeah you can grow

We all do
Just about the same
Keep playing the same old tune and it’s a losing game
We must move beyond our selfishness and doubt
All the clout you think you have
Evaporates in the mist when she’s pissed

But don’t give up
Or give into the red man on your shoulder
Telling you it’s all fine

Yeah, you can grow
Thought you should know
Oh it don’t have to be this way forever
And you can change, and rearrange, this life
Don’t have to go as planned... yeah you can grow
