I re-read silly lines
|
That made sense at the time
|
Pages all stained with tears and red wine
|
And I walk through the airport and see magazines
|
Every face that I see
|
So much younger than me
|
And I smile to myself how I don¡¯t even miss
|
My glorious past or the lips that I've kissed
|
And I think to myself that how easy this is
|
Easy to breathe, easy to live
|
|
And I wonder why I tear myself in two
|
Over how to be, what to say and what to do
|
And I know you liked me better then
|
And I know you liked me better when I was a fool
|
¡¦I was a fool
|
¡¦mm
|
¡¦I was a fool
|
¡¦mm
|
|
So I live in these days
|
But I still have my old ways
|
¡¯cause the future, somehow, has yet to arrive
|
And I see all around me the women on time
|
Kids and divorces and crisis in midlife
|
and do I surrender and give up my dream
|
for a brick in the wall and a washing machine
|
grow up and get real
|
for a kid in their teens
|
who won't care what I've done
|
where I've been, what I've seen
|
|
And I wonder why I tear myself in two
|
over who to be, how to be and what to do
|
and I know you liked me better then
|
and I know you liked me better when I was a fool
|
¡¦I¡¦was a fool
|
¡¦I was a fool
|
¡¦I was a fool
|
|
I'm free to a fault
|
I¡¯m 45
|
I¡¯m playing guitar
|
I¡¯m living my life
|
Fly down the highway
|
Sun on my face
|
I belong to nobody
|
I belong to no place
|
