Lyrics

In the Books
By Jeffrey C. Capps

End the year with a champagne toast
And a promise to make the very most
Of the one behind us
Not let it blind us again

Start the morning with the evening news
And no damn clue what we can do
To make it stop
Reset the hands on the clock

There are things in life that can be reversed
Take the blessing with the curse
Sing the chorus and then the verse
If we call off the search before we look
It’s in the books, it’s in the books

It’s the same old game
But with a different name
The things we do to explain our days
Justify our gains, slow the growing pains
And stay the same

This town is always in rarest form
Blizzards in April and electrical storms
That make the cat hide beneath the bed
And play dead

There are things in life that can be reversed
Take the blessing with the curse
Sing the chorus and then the verse
But still we mistake what can’t be mistook
It’s in the books, in the books
In the books, in the books

Now we’ve just got photographs
Of our moms and dads

There are things in life that can’t be reversed
In the books, in the books
In the books, in the books
In the books, in the books
