Jim Cuddy - Stagger In lyrics

It's not a matter of being bored

But the things that we've ignored

Are coming back to haunt us once again

I close my eyes, the lights are dim

But I see you stagger in

With crumpled photographs of where you've been

I'm feeling guilty I confess

It's hard to see you such a mess

I know no matter what I say

You'll just lose it and turn away

If you're going to walk then walk away, walk away

We'll have time to talk about it some day

Fortunes change, your luck is strong

Hope your journey lasts that long

If you're going to stay then stay for real

Pick up the pieces of the way you feel

Sometimes you can fly around, but everyone hits the ground

Call me up sometime when you come down

Walking the streets that we have named

Arm around you, not ashamed

To be the last ones that we'll ever see

I followed the look that was in your eyes

What's the point in apologizing

We were left alone and seventeen

I've seen it a million times and yet

I never remember the way you get

You walk in just like it's victory days

And wind up screaming in a drunken haze

If you're going to walk then walk away, walk away

We'll have time to talk about it some day

Fortunes change, your luck is strong

Hope your journey lasts that long

If you're going to stay then stay for real

Pick up the pieces of the way you feel

Sometimes you can fly around, but everyone hits the ground

Call me up sometime when you come down

Alright I guess we've closed that door

I still don't know what you're waiting for

So much to lose not much to gain

But you don't see it you're an angel flying high above us all tonight

There's not an answer that I have found

I just want to know you'll be around

I know no matter what I say

You'll just lose it and walk away

If you're going to walk then walk away, walk away

We'll have time to talk about it some day

Fortunes change, your luck is strong

Hope your journey lasts that long

If you're going to love then love for real

Pick up the pieces of the way you feel

Sometimes you can fly around, but everyone hits the ground

Call me up some day when you come down
