Picking my way through the brand new battlefield with you
Hand in hand we'll take our steps
Our minds on what we do
Another try at getting by
Another close and then last call
And if I had to be a betting man
We won't get there at all
The hardest thing I do
Is to slip away from you
With quiet kisses on your cheek
The morning pale and blue
Another try at getting by
Another chip out of the wall
And if I had to be a betting man
We won't break through at all
For what it's worth
Here we are
Always close but no cigar
We can sink our ship on distant shores
And flaunt our silver scars
So hold me close
At this bar
With open eyes and open arms
We'll toast to those without a home
'Cause life is always ours
Raise your glass to those you love
Life is always ours
Raise your glass to our mistakes
Life is always ours
Raise your glass to breaking up
Life is always ours
Raise your glass and drink with us
Raise your glass to fucking up
Raise your glass to sweetest sin
Raise your glass to stepping up, stepping out and knowing
For what it's worth
Here we are
Always close but no cigar
We can sink our ship on distant shores
And flaunt our silver scars
So hold me close
At this bar
With open eyes and open arms
