Before Long - John Graham

Next time I’ll change all the rules

I’ll sharpen my teeth and my tongue

'cause now I know nothing’s forever

No it all turns to shit before long

I fell for you in an instant

And I thought that would always be there

But we said our goodbyes from a distance

And the last words still hang in the air

You said it’s a sin for all seasons

Well it’s been a cold winter this year

But if you gave me one more good reason

I’d still find a place for you here

Next time I’m changing the rules

I’ll sharpen my teeth and my tongue

'Cause now I know noting’s forever

No it all turns to shit before long

So is this our brand new beginning

Our better our bigger new day

Or is this the one we’ll look back on

When we threw all the good bits away
