Another year's gone by
Of learning how this all works
But I'm still asking myself why
I think I must be failing this course
Another December's past
Seems the sun's just staying alive
My friends still drink fast
But a little more before they drive
Away, away with the wind
This life stretches my heart too thin
Another glass has broke
Sending shards into shallow eyes
More champagne and coke
Is this tradition of just compromise
Another midnight no kiss
Just nicotine consolation
Another opportunity I missed
Just for quick alleviation
Away, away with the wind
This life stretches my heart too thin
Away, away with the wind
This life stretches my heart too thin
Another sad damn song
Another boy done wrong
Another smile you lost
Another love that costs
Another suicide
Another friend just died
Another letter home
Another, "Wish I had known"
Away, away with the wind
This life stretches my heart too thin
Away, away with the wind
This life stretches my heart too thin
