"Best Laid Plans" lyrics

Wake up, sleepy head
Get out of bed and light the fuse
Pour yourself a coffee
Slice of toast, and read the news

Open up the window
Breathe the air and face the day
You take all that is urgent
And you hide it all away

'Cause you don't really want to think about it, no, not anymore
It's just a sad sad situation moving through the door
Don't want to pack bags, don't want a life of getting old and feeling strange
But all the best-laid plans submit to change

Go get out the house, take a walk around the park
Lap the reservoir and see the dogs and hear them bark
Joggers racing by, young families are pushing prams
The florist trims the flowers to place them in your hands

But you don't really want to think about it, no, not anymore
It's just a sad sad situation moving through the door
Don't want to pack bags, don't want a life of getting old and feeling strange
But all the best-laid plans submit to change

Go meet all your friends, grab a round and share a joke
Wait until it lands and then you laugh until you choke
Gaze around the table, take it in, 'cause soon it's gone
Your favourite souvenir from a life now moving on

But you don't really want to think about it, no, not anymore
It's just a sad sad situation moving through the door
Don't want to pack bags, don't want a life of getting old and feeling strange
But all the best-laid plans submit to change

All the best-laid plans submit to change
All your best-laid plans submit to change
