Once again I think this
Is worth the waiting for
Broken down at the start
Oh, I'm out of sorts

Once again I think this
Is something I ignored
First a horse, then a cart
Oh, it's quite a way to learn

All my life is a balance
And it's kind of worn
Less and less on its sleeve
As the shirt is torn

Hold my life in the talons
Where the weight is borne
Just like prey in a trap
Oh, it's quite a way to learn
Oh, it's quite a way to learn

When it's all unspoken
Can you hear the strain?
When the door swings open
It belies the frame

Check my pulse
In the fall
For the follow through
47 months since a new Moon

Check the phone
When I call
Break the solitude
47 months and it's only June

And it's still just only June
(Oh it's quite a way to learn)
And it's still just only June
(Oh it's quite a way to learn)
And it's still just only June
(Oh it's quite a way to)

When it's all unspoken
Can you hear the strain?
When the door swings open
It belies the frame
And all I have is a paring knife
With a box of clothes and these tired eyes
Have we said the same?

The hypocrisy of all of the above
It's incessantly a test of push and shove
It's an oddity, anomaly, a comedy though honestly, it's funny
But it's enough
