lyrics

we stick up for each other
you're my sister i'm your brother
no tomorrow and no yesterday
our plans are destined for dismay
each and every moment passes
wishing we could take it back
we keep talking we grow old
just to retell all the tales we told

keep time
we gotta keep time
on a fishing line

it's what we gotta do to get by

holding out for greener pastures
underfoot we feel the grass
what little strategy we know
was written many many moons ago
failing upwards falling back
on practical matters of fact
our dreams were only fictions
forged when we were young and idealistic

...

this time
this time
better do better than we did those other times

it's just what we gotta do to get by
