Appointed Tasks

lyrics

Would you ask me to dance?
Catch my mistakes if I gave you the chance?
Would you still love me when
I told the truth about where I’d been?
Would you fill in the space
That’s left behind after falling
From grace?
La dee da dee di

At night I sit and count up the missing
I reckon up the leavers and the left behinds
Before I know it I’m standin’ and cryin’ in the kitchen
Drunk on loss and cheap red wine

But don't have time for regrets
Life is short and getting shorter all the time
Our threads are getting tangled
When they should be neatly tied
After all the only tasks that matter
Are to love
And die
La dee da dee di

I would ask you to dance
Fix your mistakes if you gave me the chance
I would still love you when
You told the truth about who you’d been with
If you'd fill in the space
That’s left behind after falling
From grace
La dee da dee di
