Following Through (The Dismemberment Plan)

It coulda been good It coulda been something special It may have had real potential It never could show It coulda been great It could been something alright But we never did keep it that tight So whaddya know? I get up at 5am I so don't need those dreams that I used to have It coulda been swell It coulda been off the hook now If we ever had what it took now I haven't a clue I think it's as well We may have been on the right track Finding all the pieces we lack But what can you do? Now I see that these are cards we drew some time ago, so if you don't know: I can do it anywhere with anyone at anytime don't you forget This is my life and it's going to be good, don't you know Not a promise or a threat or an ultimatum, though I can do that too I'm just telling you, I've got this life I've got to live I'm just following through I dishonor the past Being so loose with my time I could stand accused of high crimes In the court of the dead And I could be next On a page about to turn soon So I'm movin' my ass at high noon You heard what I said I could say I hope I'm not misread, but that's all right I'm quite OK with losing that fight
