lyrics

I tried to catch the twighlight,
Walked into a dark night,
Somewhere down a dusty road.
On my way to nowhere,
Tryin' to get to somewhere,
Somewhere I thought I'd know.

I was only sixteen,
She was just a sweet dream,
She was from a broken home.
Fire in her eyes,
Like the sun up in the sky,
She would never have known.

(Chorus)
What a bloody shame,
You messed up again,
And it was going oh so well,
Flowers on the track,
A weight on your back,
You're gonna end up on your own.

We never walked the same way,
But somehow on the same day,
I saw her on the corner alone.
I asked her if she knew me,
She just looked right through me,
We fell into a broken home.

(Chorus)

I was holding on too tightly,
Dropped the girl politely,
What a mistake, I know.
Lost myself in my mind,
Forgetting all the good times,
Bittersweet and feeling alone.

(Chorus)
(Chorus)
