Next Time

about

Sometimes, a song can take weeks to write and record, and sometimes it just jumps out of you, and it’s complete within an hour. Next Time was one of the fast ones. It started with me noodling around with a bassline, and Cameron started playing a beautiful guitar line on top of it. We added some drums, overdubbed more guitars and synths, and before we knew it, we had Next Time recorded. I don’t think we got up from Cameron’s couch before the instrumental was done. As soon as we played back the rough mix, we knew we had something special.

lyrics

The could’ves, the would’ves, the should’ves, racing by me late at night
Wondering if I did enough, or if I gave up the fight
I try to picture a scenario where I can say what I really mean
But it’s no use, the only time that could happen is in my dreams

And I think about all the things I should have said (to you)
All those sleepless nights when I’m terrified in bed (it's true)
What I would say if I could do it all again (and again, and again, and again)
But it’s no use, I know there will be no next time

Oh, next time never comes

I never thought that you’d be gone when I came back home
It seemed like a given that you’d be here, like I’d always known
But nothing is ever certain, and I learned that for sure that night
I wish there was some reason, some way to make it right

And I think about all the things I should have said (to you)
All those sleepless nights when I’m terrified in bed (it's true)
What I would say if I could do it all again (and again, and again, and again)
But it’s no use, I know there will be no next time

Oh, next time never comes
