Any Joy

from Someday Soon by Andy McGarvie

/

lyrics

There’s a light on a distant shore
And in his mind there’s still that open door
He will try to change her mind
Hoping that all wounds will heal with time

Now every day is all he has
Just tryna make sense of what’s just passed
And he’s learnt heartbreak teaches more about love
Than any joy could do

He falls asleep for an hour or so
Wakes up remembering that he’s now on his own
He cuts his hair and he shines his shoes
As though these small things might take away his blues

Now every day is all he has
Just tryna make sense of what’s just passed
And he’s learnt heartbreak teaches more about love
Than any joy could do

Oh and I never knew ‘bout love until that time I saw him
Sitting alone in the dark with his smoke I think he was mourning
Yeah he was broken inside because he found she no longer adored him
Just lamenting it all ‘cos the rest of the world seemed so boring
And he won’t go back home, he’s waiting for his telephone
To ring and say “I made a mistake, and I want you back in my arms today”
She says in this dream that he is having now

Now every day is all he has
Just tryna make sense of what’s just passed
And he’s learnt heartbreak teaches more about love
Than any joy could do
