Jack & Jill - The Tide Will Turn

You say you want it all but how can I believe you now
You say you're happy now, at what price did you gain that golden cow
You say we get what we want, I say we get what we ask for
If you think that we don't maybe you weren't so careful on that score

You always seem to sail away, guilt absolved to live another day

On a floor of broken glass the cut is just so clean
Whatever came to pass never showed us both what we really mean
I'd give you what you want if all you'd do is ask for it
You just run away and never showed me where you'd gone and hid

You always seem to sail away, guilt absolved to live another day

But the tide will turn, the tide will turn, you'll be left standing high and dry
The tide will turn, the tide will turn, you'll have nothing for your dry fear
But your bourbon and your beer

You always seem to sail away, guilt absolved to live another day
But the tide will turn, the tide will turn, you'll be left standing high and dry
The tide will turn, the tide will turn, you'll have nothing for your dry fear
But your memories and your tears

Go on go away you've lost another friend
I wish that could say there was something good about this kind of end
Your better interests won, wasn't really my kind of a fight
When it happens again, you probably won't remember what went right
