lyrics

Whatever’s On Special

This is the bargain that you made
with the wild blue yonder.
I was always scared you would run out of fun.
And as the party lights start to fade,
well I begin to wonder –
was it always in your mind to cut and run?
As the champagne starts to fizz
on your tongue…

CHORUS:
I just drink whatever’s on special;
I still think that you’ll come back home.
I might be waking up feeling dead,
but I’m sticking to my half of the bed,
and in the morning we wake up
with the great unknown.

Sometimes it’s Beaujoulais,
and sometimes it’s just bargain beer;
my palate’s not so discerning anymore.
And all the fancy things you say
can take you anywhere but here,
but in a world this small, you’ll always end up bored.
Now everybody knows my name
at the corner store…

CHORUS

Maybe my optimism is misplaced.
I don’t want to believe I’m a hopeless case,
but I’ll always raise a glass to your empty place.

CHORUS
