Earlier Lyrics

We were always gonna say goodbye

Let's just say it earlier

Say it earlier

Than we'd like

Lord knows that we didn't try

To say it earlier

Say it earlier

In this life

Oh honey

I would wash you clean

From your spiderweb eyes

To your trembling feet

Oh honey

I wish that you hadn't built

All the vices

Sewn like stiches

In the patchwork of your guilt

We were always gonna say goodbye

Let's just say it earlier

Say it earlier

Than we'd like

Lord knows that we didn't try

To say it earlier

Say it earlier

In this life

And I wish I was a gambler

I wish that I could view

All your cards laid on the table

All of mine exposed to you

And I wish I was a cowboy

I wish you were a steer

And I could toss my rope around you

Bring you over to me near

We were always gonna say goodbye

Let's just say it earlier

Say it earlier

Than we'd like

Lord knows that we didn't try

To say it earlier

Say it earlier

In this life
