Holiday

Holiday

Maybe someday I’ll be on holiday
Maybe someday I won’t hang on every word you say
Maybe someday I’ll be in a much better place
Somewhere the sky’s always blue
A day I’m not reminded
Maybe someday I’ll be on holiday
Maybe someday I won’t hang on every word you say
Maybe someday I’ll be less bitter and brave
Enough to start something new
A day I’m not reminded of you

I don’t mean it personally
As I take the liberty
To scratch your name from my memory
It was a rough recovery
That you were not around to see
How words grow cheap
Delayed by twenty weeks
The more you talk the more I start to think

Maybe someday I’ll be on holiday
Maybe someday I won’t hang on every word you say
Maybe someday I won’t feel picked on and played,
And I could have something true
A day I’m not reminded
Maybe someday I’ll be on holiday
Maybe someday I won’t hang on every word you say
Maybe someday I won’t have to be kicked in the face
To want to start things anew
A day I’m not reminded of you

And on this anniversary
Odd that my telephone should ring
That your tone piques my curiosity
But don’t wait expectantly
For me to turn the other cheek
I’m not so meek
To harbor such a cheat,
No virtue left to burn in the backseat

Maybe someday I’ll be on holiday
Maybe someday I won’t hang on every word you say
Maybe someday it won’t take a slap in the face
To want to start things anew
A day I’m not reminded
Maybe someday I’ll be on holiday
Maybe someday I won’t hang on every word you say
Maybe someday I’ll spot a happier way,
Where I can find something true
A day I’m not reminded of you

Laughed off my sentimental pleas
Like who am I to speak?
I’m not some incidental bleep
Who am I to? Who am I not to?

Maybe someday I’ll be on holiday
Maybe someday I won’t hang on every word you say
Maybe someday I’m not gonna think you’re so great
Might learn to like someone new
A day I’m not reminded
Maybe someday I’ll be on holiday
Maybe someday I won’t hang on every word you say
Maybe someday I’ll be less bitter and brave
Enough to start something true
A day I’m not reminded

Maybe someday

Maybe today is the day I make that radical break
The day I’m not reminded of you
