Five Years On - Carrie Newcomer

Here I sit smack dab in the middle

Tomorrow is a crazy riddle

I wish I had a crystal ball

I wish I could see 5 years on

Like candle rockets you and I

Oos and ahs and shouts and sighs

Is this the storm before the calm

I wish I could see five years on

But I can't and you don't

And you try and I won't

Broken trust can be repaired

But it'll take some time

To get us there

But I will and you won't

You try and I don't

We lose a little higher ground

Every time we go around

We always seem to look behind

And say if we'd known at the time

But there's no one here to read my palm

I wish I could see five years on

If we fail or if we fly

No one can say that we didn't try

Has the final card been drawn

I wish I could see five years on

But I can't and you don't

And you try and I won't

Broken trust can be repaired

But it'll take some time

To get us there

But I will and you won't

You try and I don't

We lose a little higher ground

Every time we go around

Every time we go around

Round and round

We're lost then we're found

We can't change words

The ones I wish we hadn't heard

There's no map or 12-step guide

We do what we can't justify

And it's always dark before the dawn

How I wish I could see five years on

I promise you promise me

And still there are no guarantees

Is this the last verse of the song

I wish I could see five years on

But I can't and you don't

And you try and I won't

Broken trust can be repaired

But it'll take some time

To get us there

But I will and you won't

You try and I don't

We lose a little higher ground

Every time we go around
