VERSE

Another time another place

Another world, another space.

Thinking of you.

Dreaming of you.

VERSE

Where is my Tie? Have ya seen my shoe?

My car keys too.

Thinking of you.

Pining for you.

CHORUS

Tell me there's truth in it. 

I can't get around it.

Just, quite yet.

VERSE

I watch you dancing on the floor.

I hear the voices cry out "more!"

I'm holding you still,

I'm losing my will.

VERSE

I know the signs were in the air.

About the life we used to share.

One becomes two.

I'm starting anew.

(Bidding adieu.)

CHORUS

I don't have the heart for this

I came here to see you and steal one last kiss.

BRIDGE

No, I never knew it, though we've both been through it. 

Never saw it coming. Just admit to running down that hole. 

If I'd seen the signs, I'd work to straighten out.

I'd memorize my lines reciting from my heart and from my soul.

(Squeeze the hating out from ....

CHORUS

Once you get past the gate,

Your tears will shield you from the hate.

Tell me there's truth in it. 

I can't get around it.

Just, quite yet.
