Lyric Break Even

hanging round the diner
just trying to break even
standing on a corner
just waiting to collect all of the moneythat you owe me
hello honey, how have you been

well, I didn t know that you d been lost
I couldn t see the difference
between what you had and what you owed
you didn t seem to care or even worry
about the distance back when it mattered
but now it doesn t

and we won t be going too much further
and we won t be breaking much new ground
and we won t be feeling that much freer
from here on out

well, I was hoping that what we had might last
if only for a while
is it good to see a long lost friend
or would you rather not go through the trouble
to fake a smile
hey, maybe next time, don t even bother

I ll get up to see you out
and watch you through the window
but I ll be thinking to myselfthat nothing s really changedmoving in circles somewhere behind me
it used to matter but now it doesn t

and we won t be going too much further
and we won t be breaking much new ground
and we won t be feeling that much freer
from here on out

from here on out ...
