The First Day of Spring

Remember when you said last year
This had gone too far
And you were gonna try to find a way to make it stick this time?
Summer came and went
You couldn't make the rent
You figured, "I'll get by
I always do, some way, somehow"

Then one step forward, three steps back
Another day will pass

By the time that autumn came
You'd called in all your favors
You were running games on anyone who still called you a friend
As if we didn't know everything that you were up to
It's nothing new
It's up to you to fix it this time

One step forward, three steps back
Another day has passed

[Guitar lead]

Summer's always gone too fast
And winter always lasts too long for you
But your last chances ran out years ago
And everyone you know has eulogies on hand
'Cause you're as good as gone in almost every way
Please don't fade away
Please don't fade away

Winter always hits too hard
It catches us off guard
It gets the best of us, but the rest of us manage to get by
We feel the bright and cold embrace of March surround us
And we know it's time to welcome in the first day of spring

Another day's gone by [x4]
