Mineshaft 2
Dessa

Fifteen years from tonight you have to make a desicion

The greatest love of your life

Is gonna call during dinner...

From the home of the girl that he's living with now

And the guilt he'll say is killing him

He's wilted in the middle and

He knows how bad he acted

Knows he can't have you back

But the fact is he can't be happy when you're angry

And you're so angry, he says you stayed so mad

And he heard it on the street that

You moved back in with your dad

You were drinking something awful

And that makes him sad

Then he says it's good to hear your voice again

And that it's hard to ask it,

But he's calling with a question

He's been working real hard, he's trying to make a new start

An honest to god fresh beginning

So maybe you could try to finally find it in your heart

To forgive him

You've already been here before

You already know where it goes

You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over

You've been here before

You already know where it goes

You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over

He hung up the phone, you listened to the dial tone

And you stared at the stove until the beeping started

You read some love letters some threats

And some you couldn't tell apart

That you keep under the bed at the apartment

And then you did what he asked you to do

You opened your heart up

Right there on a napkin on the carpet

And part of it was frostbit

But you've always been a smart kid

Could still distinguish, the blood black as pitch

Valves had gone stiff, veins and scar tissue

Four chambers just a standard issue

But none had room, forgiveness is huge

And you had two full of ice water

One fulla salt, one packed with coal

Eager and ready and willing to find fault

You've already been here before

You already know where it goes

You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over

You've been here before

You already know where it goes

You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over

Then with your heart in your lap

And your head in your hands, suddenly you had a plan

Wrap the mess in newspaper

Headed west on Hennepin,

Heavy with a huge favor for a kid that just turned ten

A flat-chested, gap-toothed girl

Was the best that I've been so far

And now I'm too big to forgive him

I need just a moment with me,

A moment when I was still little

I used to sing on the roof outside my windowsill

And I came hoping some ghost of me would be here still

And here you are, stick figure and a busted grin

Still ignorant of all the trouble I'ma get us in

Hoping we could trade, just for tonight

Like I could borrow your heart

And I could leave you mine

It's not much for collateral, tattered and battle-scared

But I can promise you solemn

That I will be back for it tomorrow

I only need yours this evening

So I can call an old friend

And I can tell him

That we're finally even,

That we're finally even

You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over

I've been here before

And I already know where it goes

You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over
