hanging round the diner

just trying to break even

standing on a corner

just waiting to collect all of the moneythat you owe me

hello honey, how have you been



well, I didn't know that you'd been lost

I couldn't see the difference

between what you had and what you owed

you didn't seem to care or even worry

about the distance back when it mattered

but now it doesn't



and we won't be going too much further

and we won't be breaking much new ground

and we won't be feeling that much freer

from here on out



well, I was hoping that what we had might last

if only for a while

is it good to see a long lost friend

or would you rather not go through the trouble

to fake a smile

hey, maybe next time, don't even bother



I'll get up to see you out

and watch you through the window

but I'll be thinking to myselfthat nothing's really changedmoving in circles somewhere behind me

it used to matter but now it doesn't



and we won't be going too much further

and we won't be breaking much new ground

and we won't be feeling that much freer

from here on out



from here on out ...
