I made a choice that very night to become a slightly better man.
I started by washing my hands of all those past sins,
And as you waited alone in your car outside, I politely but quite firmly declined your invitation for the evening.
So hold out your weary hand, let me tell your fortune again.
The future is brighter than you'll ever know,
Now that we are on our own.
There are things that you deserve to know, the rest you have to earn.
I have no remorse.
As soon as I hung up the phone I knew this disaster was finally through,
And I could hear through the cloudy line that this took you by surprise.
So hold out your weary hand, let me tell your fortune again.
The future is brighter than you'll ever know,
Now that we are on our own.
It's true that I have no idea what the universe has in store,
But I do know that when you think it can't get any worse,
It does.
So hold out your weary hand, let me tell your fortune again.
The future is brighter than you'll ever know,
Now that we are on our own.
