Pretty Good Year

I've been working longer hours, watching money streaming in
I've been trusting crooks and liars like I don't have any friends
I've been finding myself praying when I'm deepest into sin
I've been reinventing happiness again

It's been painful resolution set to jubilant applause
It's soaring highs and crushing lows and grinding in the jaw
It's been begging for forgiveness after laying down the law
It's been like surgery to get through all the flaws

Will this overture seem dull to all my friends?
Will you love me if I leave you here again?

'Cause there's a faith that could tear this whole thing apart
So pour the drinks and we'll cause the dancing to start

I've been standing at a crossroads for what seems like many days
If I go will the house fall down, will I burn it if I stay?
Will I be fighting like a coward or running like a brave?
I'll be laughing like a mad man either way

Will this overture seem dull to all my friends?
Will you love me if I leave you here again?
When the spell breaks, we'll be back to work
What then?

There's a faith that could tear this whole thing apart
So pour the drinks and we'll cause the dancing to start
There are lies that could tear this whole thing apart
There are songs that will beg to keep your heart

There are songs that will beg to keep your heart
