"Napoleon" lyrics

"Napoleon"

I still see you there
A tall glass of Napoleon and an off-white leather chair
Trying to sink tomorrow
What's so important today?
You said the same shit yesterday
The tired lines that you recite
You don't really mean them, do you?

Another broken afternoon
A whole life just scattered and strewn across the bathroom floor
And I'll draw the blinds and lock the doors
We need some help
I can only help you hurt yourself
I threw it all down the wishing well
Don't throw it all down the wishing well

You always say that we're gonna get there
Show me where
Show me where
Don't just say that we're gonna get there
I wanna know where
I wanna know where

It's not too late to mend
We've only got one shot now, Napoleon
No, it's not too late to mend
It's not too late to mend what we've broken
It's not too late to mend
We've only got one shot now, Napoleon
No, it's not too late to mend
It's not too late to mend what we've broken

You always say that we're gonna get there
Show me where
Show me where
Don't just say that we're gonna get there
I wanna know when
I wanna know when

It's not too late to mend
We've only got one shot now, Napoleon
No, it's not too late to mend
It's not too late to mend what we've broken
It's not too late to mend
We've only got one shot now, Napoleon
No, it's not too late to mend
It's not too late to mend what we've broken
