Always

In the last light of day Sun setting on a wounded charade Killing overtime to keep you alive In the shadow of a former life Pale equinox soaked in lye Draining the future one day at a time Always A long, long way away Pleading with fate for your big break Steady diet of a first heartache Diner dancing, plaid skirt, alight Can't just be easy for a girl like you When all your friends are burning blue Trouble wrapped in twirling plaid tonight Always A long, long way away
