I was walking home to my house through the snow from the station
When Springsteen came clear in my headphones with a pertinent question
Oh is love really real and can any of us hope for redemption?
Or are we all merely biding our time down to the lonely conclusions
Darling let me take your hand as I talk you through this
How loneliness edged in to deep seated psychosis
Lying awake in crowded hotel rooms focused on tape hiss
And my failings laid clear on the ceiling I dont think I can do this
I dont think I can do this

I tried so hard to not turn into my father
But if I only ever skip out his choices will I ever choose better
Oh the sad truth is the grass it will always seem greener
So I left you alone in a restaurant in London in winter
You deserve better
Adam Trask
Is on my back
And in my ears
The sound comes clear and brings the awful truth
That I cant stand what Ive done to you
And its written clear in my diary
Today should've been our anniversary
And Im far away and Im far apart
And youre back home with a broken heart
And love is real and I cant escape
I only ever have myself to blame
These failures shift and shape me in the night
Like a fever I cant break try as I might
Wake me darling I need you to take me home
But I know
In the end redemption is mine and mine alone
* * * x2
So if each of us is made up of a tally of mistakes and successes
Then that hour in the restaurant makes my score less than impressive
Oh each can be redeemed by the courage in which he confesses
So darling I miss you
Your music and your musk and your kisses
I dont think I can do this
