Philadelphia Lyrics - The Way It Was - Parachute Band

Verse 1: 

Like a gunshot from miles away 

She's moving in 

Like a rainstorm with out the clouds 

She falls on him 

Like a phone call to warn the truth 

It never rings 

Chorus: 

It's the truth before the lies 

It's the way she doesn't try 

It's the wink before the slight 

In Philadelphia 

In Philadelphia 

Verse 2: 

They met after work one day 

She laughed with him 

They drove off their separate ways 

Then met for drinks 

When he got home the silent guilt was deafening 

Chorus: 

It's the truth before the lies 

It's the way she doesn't try 

It's the wink before the slight 

In Philadelphia 

In Philadelphia 

Bridge: 

She thought that love was gonna fight 

She thought that love was gonna take her home 

She thought that love was gonna save her 

But love just never showed 

She felt that love was always watching 

Oh we learned that love was supposed to wait 

But sometimes it's the feelings 

That are standing in the air 

He slips off his worn out suit and tries to rest 

She's a million miles away across the bed 

She rolls over puts her hand across his chest 

Chorus: 

It's the truth before the lies 

It's the way she doesn't try 

It's the wink before the sly 

In Philadelphia 

In Philadelphia 

In Philadelphia 

oooooooohooooo 

oooooooohooooo
