|
It seemed so easy at the start |
|
When I left my heart |
|
Sitting on the roof of the car |
|
And drove off |
|
And I rushed to leave the past behind |
|
Forgot that heart was mine |
|
I didn't even know at the time |
|
I had one |
|
I put the pedal to the floor |
|
Heading for the western shore |
|
Thinking only of high times |
|
I had there |
|
Oh, I was cruel, cruel, cruel |
|
I thought I'd fly too high to fall |
|
But I never flew |
|
Never left the ground at all |
|
Greedy to get on the way |
|
I made that old mistake |
|
Of sneering at familiar streets |
|
And faces |
|
Did you marry someone good |
|
From our neighborhood? |
|
Or are you on the other side of the world |
|
Still searching? |
|
Oh, I was cruel, cruel, cruel |
|
I thought I'd fly too high to fall |
|
But I never flew |
|
Never left the ground at all, at all |
|
So next time, time, time |
|
I'll dream in days or on your mind |
|
Look me up 'cause I |
|
Never left those days behind, behind |
|
I've done some things I never should have done |
|
Now I've come down, don't tell me that I'm out of time |
|
Turn back your love upon a pie-eyed fool |
|
Forget the things I did |
|
When I was cruel, cruel, cruel |
|
I thought I'd fly too high to fall |
|
'Cause I never flew |
|
Never left the ground at all, at all |
|
So next time, time, time |
|
I'll dream in days or on your mind |
|
Look me up 'cause I |
|
Never left those days behind, behind |
