When You Were Mine Lyrics - Icicle Works

A different set of eyes for every story 

A heaven not so far away from hell 

A bittersweet reminder of the way things used to be 

Before that love we had around us slipped and fell 

It's right there in your eyes 

We can't go back the way we came 

There's more to lose and less to gain 

In dreams of yesterday 

There's no surprise 

You walk the wire you're bound to fall 

You run to him and I recall 

The time when you were mine 

When you were mine 

Now I may take a fast train 

Burn all my credentials as I go 

It's stranger than religion 

It's a realm of indecision 

It's the only place in town I want to go 

It's right there in your eyes 

We can't go back the way we came 

There's more to lose and less to gain 

In dreams of yesterday 

There's no surprise 

You walk the wire you're bound to fall 

You run to him and I recall 

The time when you were mine 

When you were mine 

At times like these don't 

Disregard what's gone before 

There's always something 

Worthwhile knockin' on your door 

It's right there in your eyes 

We can't go back the way we came 

There's more to lose and less to gain 

In dreams of yesterday 

There's no surprise 

You walk the wire you're bound to fall 

You run to him and I recall 

The time when you were mine 

When you were mine
