Should Have Never Crossed Your Path Lyrics - Indigo Girls

Should have never crossed your path 

Funny things you want the most 

Should soon be taken back 

Slap my own hands like a child 

Stealing from the candy store 

I think I've taken to your smile 

And I hunger for your laugh 

Do the craziest things like look around 

When I know you're nowhere near me 

Break my back on a song 

Though I know you're not there to hear 

Unanswered questions lying on the coffee table 

From a song I haven't finished since last summer 

Cause I never could decide how much was gin 

How much the sea 

Or other incidentals clouding what was really me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Everything I am is bare feet and burning sand 

Waiting for the calm cool hand of the sea 

A madman of emotions waiting for the drug effect 

Of the reason and the intellect to comfort me 

Half the time I love you like you love the fall's first breeze 

Then you seem as distant as the skeletons of trees 

Far away outside my window 

Where inside I think of you 

As if I thought hard enough I'd know which way to turn 

And what to do 

Ooh 

Ooh 

Ooh 

Ooh 

Photos 

I'm quite sure I'll be alright 

We all live with some distraction 

It's just too bad 

Mine will hang around all day and night 

Like an uninvited guest 

You can't turn away try hard as you might 

Lord knows I've tried 

I might let it go and take a long long run 

Quit my job and join the coastline baking in the sun 

Then again I might just make big plans 

And leave them on the table 

Like the song I left unfinished 

And the words I am unable 

I will always be unable to express 

Ooh 

Ooh 

Ooh 

Ooh
