Old - Gord Bamford

Why'd it go wrong when it should've gone right Why do we run when there's no need to fight I can't go on if I'm not alone or talking to you You never knew all the mountains I've climbed When I'm with you there's no passing of time All of my dreams have been realized and taken away Why do I pray? Oh why do I, why do I stay? When the Sun's so far away Well, I hope this is my last day Blame it on me, things that I never did A hundred and three, keep my lying in bed I'm so afraid to hear people talk, these things they believe Half truths and lies they're drinking like wine The other sides don't get anytime Listen to her, don't miss him at all Or listen to me Why do I breathe? Oh, why do I, why do I leave? When you're all that I can see Well, it's time for honesty I want love But I don't just want love, I want you I see the beach house, your sweet mouth But the terrible news Is that love is not how it seems on the screen Yeah, real love has problems But it's what's in-between that's the best The way that she looks when she's dressed For an all quiet Tuesday Always a blue day with you And darling I died for the sun rays that may not have ever been real But still I miss you and I wish you would come back to me Like you used to and last June, you came after me And they need to be the one you see But I can't see you anymore Am I blind or just finding out that it's always been like this The last kiss was only an accident 'Cause I can't get past you and I can't forget secret war But I pray and I stay No matter the distance I'll wait, or I'll wait for old Eden's resistance 'Cause we grew together but I feel so alone

We nearly drowned for such a silly thing Someone who loves me now better than you And that pretty friend is finally yours, and I'll be around on Sunday, if You'll meet me at blue diner I'll take coffee and talk about nothing, baby At blue diner, I'll take anything you wanna give me, baby I haven't told anyone, just like we promised Have you? Every time I drive through the city where you're from I squeeze a little Meet me at blue diner I'll take coffee and talk about nothing, baby At blue diner, I'll take anything you want to give me, baby At blue diner, I'll take coffee and talk about nothing, baby Blue diner, I'll take anything you want to give me, baby

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
