If it could happen once...
I try not to think about the previous generation
Should I have followed their lead?
No I don't think that's true
As you lay in our bed and we discussed the future
And I wondered right then
If it could happen once...
We got distracted by things that were important
We missed the chance to change the road that we were on
As you lay in our bed and we discussed the future
And I wondered right then
If it could happen once...
I heard from my cousin, the one who lives in London
He said we held up well, they all respect us there
Still he could see the way the journey would end
But I didn't want to know that you were staying away
As you lay in your bed we discussed the future
And I wondered right then
If it could happen once...
I drove myself home against the advice they gave me
I was in no shape to be with anyone else
I walked in my house to find the hurricane came through
The water in the valve simply burst through
As you lay in your bed
And asked me about the future
And I couldn't tell you
I simply couldn't tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't want to know
What did you need to hear?
What did I have to tell you?
But then it was too too late it was too too late
And I kissed kissed you and I kissed kissed you
And I walked walked walked and got into the car
And I drove drove drove
And I drove
I drove into the night
