Break Even Lyrics - Singles - Neal Casal

hanging round the diner 

just trying to break even 

standing on a corner 

just waiting to collect all of the moneythat you owe me 

hello honey, how have you been 

well, I didn't know that you'd been lost 

I couldn't see the difference 

between what you had and what you owed 

you didn't seem to care or even worry 

about the distance back when it mattered 

but now it doesn't 

and we won't be going too much further 

and we won't be breaking much new ground 

and we won't be feeling that much freer 

from here on out 

well, I was hoping that what we had might last 

if only for a while 

is it good to see a long lost friend 

or would you rather not go through the trouble 

to fake a smile 

hey, maybe next time, don't even bother 

I'll get up to see you out 

and watch you through the window 

but I'll be thinking to myselfthat nothing's really changedmoving in circles somewhere behind me 

it used to matter but now it doesn't 

and we won't be going too much further 

and we won't be breaking much new ground 

and we won't be feeling that much freer 

from here on out 

from here on out ...
