Breaking Point from 50 Songs by Shane Cooley

Breaking Point


Anticipation have mercy on me
I’ve been patient I’ve been patient enough
Just waiting for those fifteen minutes
Guts glory and that storybook stuff
Waiting for love

It gets to be too much sometimes
But that’s when it’s just right
It’s just too much sometimes
But that’s alright
When you’ve reached that breaking point

Anticipation is a dirty old trick
Leads you straight through the thick of the thicket
And my I’ve learned how to take it
But now I’ve learned how to take it well
Handbasket going straight to hell

It gets to be too much sometimes
But that’s when it’s just right
It’s just too much sometimes
But that’s alright
When you’ve reached that breaking point

All those late nights with Abraham
Making eyes at the moons of Jupiter
Through a half-broken telescope
I must still be a dreamer
