Break Even Lyrics

hanging round the diner
just trying to break even
standing on a corner
just waiting to collect all of the moneythat you owe me
hello honey, how have you been

well, I didn't know that you'd been lost
I couldn't see the difference
between what you had and what you owed
you didn't seem to care or even worry
about the distance back when it mattered
but now it doesn't

and we won't be going too much further
and we won't be breaking much new ground
and we won't be feeling that much freer
from here on out

well, I was hoping that what we had might last if only for a while
is it good to see a long lost friend
or would you rather not go through the trouble
to fake a smile
hey, maybe next time, don't even bother

I'll get up to see you out
and watch you through the window
but I'll be thinking to myselfthat nothing's really changedmoving in circles somewhere behind me
it used to matter but now it doesn't

and we won't be going too much further
and we won't be breaking much new ground
and we won't be feeling that much freer
from here on out

from here on out ...
