If I don't see you again,
|
it was a hell of a ride.
|
Don't need to say let's be friends,
|
don't need to promise you'll write.
|
We rode that train through the night
|
and never cared where it went. If I don't see you again.
|
|
If I don't see you again,
|
we ran a whole other race.
|
Two strangers meet on the road
|
and find their time and their place.
|
We never once had to lie,
|
we pass the age of consent. If I don't see you again.
|
|
I know it's crazy out there.
|
I hated sleeping around.
|
I went out looking for love
|
and never liked what I found.
|
Don't pay to make it alone.
|
God knows it's lonely out there.
|
I made it once on my own,
|
and hardly anyone cared. If I don't see you again.
|
|
Who you gonna run to, baby?
|
Who you gonna hide behind
|
when the nights get suddenly cold?
|
Whose gonna hold you?
|
Whose gonna know? Who will you go to?
|
|
Who you gonna call if it ain't me?
|
When you feelin' lost
|
and there's nobody out there lookin' for you?
|
What will you do?
|
Where will you go? If I don't see you again?
|
|
If I don't see you again,
|
you made it happen somehow.
|
I think I gave up on life,
|
but I feel better right now.
|
Something you said turned me 'round.
|
Don't even know what you meant. If I don't see you again.
|
|
And at the end of the day,
|
I hated sleepin' alone.
|
There's nothing worse when you're lost,
|
and you don't want to go home.
|
It's gonna work out someway,
|
I just don't want to be found.
|
I'm waitin' here 'round the bend,
|
and I'll be hanging around. If I don't see you again.
|
|
Who am I kiddin,'
|
I'm going nowhere.
|
I can't even get through
|
an hour without you.
|
Should be ashamed,
|
just want to hear you, callin' my name.
|
|
Two of us missed connections.
|
Guess we must of somehow
|
missed something more.
|
'Cause we're here alone.
|
I know we're together.
|
But too far apart to know how to get back home.
|
|
It's time for sayin' good-bye
|
'cause if I stay for too long,
|
You'd get to know me too well
|
and find that something is wrong.
|
The time is perfect to go
|
before the curtain descends.
|
Right now when both of us know
|
that everything's got to end. If I don't see you again.
|
|
What's it gonna come to, baby?
|
Who you gonna hide behind
|
when the nights get filled up with doom?
|
Lookin' to run, you run out of room.
|
|
And will you be the one to save me?
|
Doesn't look like the future is clear and,
|
Need you to hear me
|
playin' a tune when nobody hears me,
|
I ended up playin' to the moon.
|
|
It's time for sayin' good-bye
|
'cause if I stay for too long,
|
You'd get to know me too well
|
and find that something was wrong.
|
The time is perfect to go
|
before the curtain descends,
|
Right now when both of us know
|
that everything's got to end. If I don't see you again.
|
|
If I don't see you again,
|
somehow we both made it through.
|
I woulda gave up on life
|
before I gave up on you.
|
You went and turned me around.
|
'Could be was something you said.
|
I couldn't make out the sound.
|
I didn't care what it meant.
|
If I don't see you again.
|
If I don't see you again. If I don't see you again.
