Say you're a stranger,

You never met

And walk away, your heart a bit hurt but pride intact

There's not a man who would leave what's loved behind

Lamentations of a bartender, all dressed in black

It's an echo of a bad heart

It's a sign of the times gone wild

Call it what you want

But I call it a close call

An intervention from Providence

Coulda woulda shoulda been all of it

Call it what you want

But I call it a close call.

Say it's been 5 years, the highlight of your youth

Or fifty something hanging on to a morbid truth

You think you know someone, you never really do

Your world, all lyric and note could crash in front of you

The miseducation of a time, time Selfish generation, what is mines mine

what kind of love leaves someone hanging on the line?

Twenty years all tossed into a dustpan

Never what you did or what you should have Breathe a little darling, you'll be alright, alright.

It's an echo of a bad heart

It's a sign of the times gone wild

Call it what you want

But I call it a close call

An intervention from Providence

Coulda woulda shoulda been all of it

Call it what you want

But I call it a close call.

It's an echo of a bad heart

It's a sign of the times gone wild

Call it what you want

But I call it a close call

An intervention from Providence

Coulda woulda shoulda been all of it

Call it what you want

But I call it a close call.

Call it what you want

But I call it a close call

Call it what you want

But I call it a close call
