After school

Walking home

Fresh dirt under my fingernails

And I can smell hot asphalt

Cars screech to a halt to let me pass

And I cannnot remember what life is like through photographs

Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past

And sometimes it's a sad song

Chorus:

But I cannot forget

Refuse to regret

So glad I met you

And take my breath away

Make everyday

Worth all of the pain that I've gone through

And mama, I've been crying 'cause things aint how they used to be

She said the battle's almost won

And we're only several miles from the sun

Now moving on

Down my street

See people I won't ever meet

Think of her

Take a breath

Feel the beat and the rhythm of my steps

And sometimes it's a sad song

Chorus

The rhythm of her conversation

The perfection of her creation

The sex she slipped into my coffee

The way she felt when she first saw me

Hate to love and love to hate her

Like a broken record player

Back and forth and here and gone

And on, and on, and on, and on

Chorus
