Last Year Songtext
von Dave McPherson

Last year I drank a lot, drank till I fell down
Last year I smoked a lot, till my lungs turned brown
Last year I crawled in circles, this
Year I′m climbing up the clouds, clouds

I don't know where I went wrong
I was lost and now I′m found but now you're gone, gone

'Cause I′m not a saint but I can paint myself into a better picture
One day you′ll see me in a big golden frame and it'll hit ya

Last year I promised myself I′d stop writing songs about girls
You're a woman
Last year I let you down and I know I should have been around
Instead of drinking in town
Last year I was a little boy, now I feel like a young man
With so many plans

I don′t know where I went wrong
I was lost and now I'm found but now you′re gone, gone


'Cause I'm not a saint but I can paint myself into a better picture
One day you′ll see me in a big golden frame and it′ll hit ya
So let's call it even, we′ve got something to believe in
And you know this, you know this is true
I'm talking to you, so don′t cut me out
I know you've got doubts
But don′t be too hasty and waste me like I wasted myself
I'm sorry for last year

I understand you and I read you like a book
And I know why you think that you've got to do this
You think these are all just empty words made pretty with my guitar
Thinking that there′s no way that I could ever prove this
You′re holding on to the past but it won't last
′Cause I know that I can make you laugh and smile
And I know that I can make all this pain worthwhile
We'll take it slow but if you want to move fast I′ll match your pace
And I know this sounds crazy but you know you amaze me
I'll never be lazy and this is to be lazy with you

I don′t know where I went wrong
I was lost and now I'm found but now you're gone, gone


′Cause I′m not a saint but I can paint myself into a better picture
One day you'll see me in a big golden frame and it′ll hit ya
So let's call it even, we′ve got something to believe in
And you know this, you know this is true
I'm talking to you, so don′t cut me out
I know you've got doubts
But don't be too hasty and waste me like I wasted myself
I′m sorry for last year

I guess I′ll see you around
You don't know how much I′m gonna prove myself to you
With or without
