Lyrics
I take another drink & light a cigarette
Haven’t smoked one of these, since we last met
You still wear that smile the same you know
I think you’d better go.
What hands of fate poured such a bitter twist
When I think of all the times
That we almost kissed
And to think we could have made it so
I think you’d better go
Its too late for the train, I’ve no coat for the rain
I shouldn’t try to make it in the car
Maybe you can feel, what I’d best not say
Maybe things would go too far
So don’t think I didn’t notice that accidental touch
I’m trying not to show it that I liked it too too much
My heart might overflow,
I think you already know.
Theres only tonight
Thats all that we got
Well maybe we should leave this thing alone.
Your eyes say the things, that we never say
Until its time to go.
The music is playing something beautiful & sad
Stirs up memories I regret we never had
As above, it is below
Maybe we should do what we should have done a long long time ago
I think we’d better go.
