And It Might've Been

(album: Nova - 2022)

City in the moonlight
Illuminates the hills
Smothered in the big lights
Inside it's only a jail
Thought I could see right through it
Thought I could be more than it

She said, "I'm falling in love with faces on the train"
I've been taking your advice but it doesn't get better with age
It's like you pass right through me
Oh, honey I can't do this
Won't waste another minute
It's been a long time coming

Well, the doctor said he's got me covered
In return I only owe my life
That's okay with me, I ain't sleeping well lately
I hear you knocking on my front door
But I will make it if the timing's right
Thought I told you I don't get out that much anyway?

Bloody in your bare feet, well say it ain't so
I can't tell you nothing that you don't already know
We're living life through movies
Slipping into a bad dream
And if my heart's still beating
I guess that is news to me

It's like you move right through me
It's like you move right through me
And so it goes

I know that I can feel it
Oh, it is so close to me
I could reach in and touch it
As if it's part of me

Oh well, I know what you're going for
But won't you say it for me one more time?
'Cause babe, you know I don't listen well these days
All of the people that I know, they are all talk
Got a couple hundred things to say
Just spit it out your mouth 'cause I don't care anyway
'Cause I don't care anyway
