lyrics

sooner or later you're going to find
you've been left out on your own
where nothing quite fits and the little critic
keeps your case at home

you've gotta take a look at yourself
a little luxury
really take a look at yourself
did you give it all you had?

i'm sorry's no good for me
your story's all make-believe
it's only the wish you wish you had

one of these days you'll admit you should have
kept your contacts close
there's nothing like fickle alliances
to release your friends from foes

you've gotta take a look at yourself
a little luxury
really take a look at yourself
did you give it all you had?

i'm sorry's no good for me
your story's all make-believe
it's only the wish you wish you had

you've gotta take a look at yourself
a little luxury
really start to see yourself
did you give it all you had?

i'm sorry's no good for me
your story's all make-believe
it's only the wish you wish you had

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it! Kirin Martin
