From the recording Out to Lunch
Lyrics
Next Time Around
Drew James ©2015
One broken heart
Doomed from the start
Every wildflower in the meadow
Carries the same last petal
She loves me
She loves me not
The table's been turned
The lesson's been learned
This story that began once upon a time
Has ended without reason or rhyme
She loves me
She loves me not
She won't say goodbye, she don't need to
But she'll leave me with one last hope to cling to
“Maybe baby, I'll be seeing you
Next time around”
Friends give advice
“She's loaded dice”
The gamblers dream has more of a chance
Than your costumed masquerade romance
She loves me
She loves me not
Close just one eye
Count up to five
I'm a master at hiding from the truth
If it finds me I'll make up an excuse
She loves me
She loves me not
So I'll pick one more flower from the meadow
Than I'll pull off the very first petal
Maybe it will be settled
Maybe baby
Next time around
She won't say goodbye, she don't need to
But she'll leave me with one last hope to cling to
“Maybe baby I'll be seeing you
Next time around”
“Maybe baby I'll be seeing you
Next time around”
