I'm sitting here lately. Thinking about us maybe. Taking a break was a good thing. . 'Cause we were just children. Following a feeling. Not knowing love could wither away.
Verse 1:. She saw it in the window, just a callin' out her name.. She mowed the grass, took out the trash and saved, saved, saved.. She bought it on a Monday, had a gig on Friday night..
You called me up last night in tears. And said you missed me after. All these years. I've been waiting here so long. I've gotten over it since. You've been gone.
It's 3 A.M. and you finally say. You're sorry for acting that way. You didn't really mean to make me cry. Oh baby, sometimes I wonder. . Why does it always have to come down to me leaving.
These pearls from my mother, passed down from her mother. Of everything they gave me, I treasure them most. Cant wear them, cant hold them, dont come from the ocean.
I am an island underneath the setting sun. In an ocean that is churning. For all I know there might be nobody nearby. Still, the world it keeps on turning.
Her little blond hair's blowin'. She's swingin' while her daddy's mowin' the grass. And the dog needs a bath. But he's chasing the cat up a tree. . I'm lookin' out the window.
Oh why, oh why, oh why you let me do the things I do. But you never did it to me?. I can't believe that I could treat my baby so uncool. All she ever wanted was me.
There's a price you will pay when you're on top of the world. Oh, when everyone wants to be your friend or companion. There's a fine line between your own heaven and hell.
