VERSE
|
Sailin' down my life so fast
|
And someone seen me zippin' past
|
And reachin' out they took my hand
|
And made a move to slow me
|
Speakin' words, an angel's voice
|
And I replied, "I got no choice
|
And you, you're from some other world
|
And babe, you just don't know me"
|
|
CHORUS
|
And it's one short year gone by
|
Sad, I've made her cry, sweet baby
|
|
VERSE
|
I never meant to play that part
|
I never meant to even start
|
I was thinkin' 'bout some plans I'd made
|
And there she was beside me
|
She looked up and then we kissed
|
And somethin' there said "don't resist"
|
And that was late that summer night
|
I don't know why she tried me
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS)
|
|
BRIDGE
|
Darlin', your sweet touch
|
Well, I've never shared so much
|
Little baby, this life's on fire
|
It's burnin' and screaming higher
|
|
VERSE
|
Got to get some time alone
|
I'm just outside the danger zone
|
There's people all around me now
|
And I don't know what I'm thinkin'
|
I went down a ways from here
|
And kids were dancin', drinkin' beer
|
I was so much older there
|
My spirit started sinkin'
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS)
|
|
VERSE
|
Tryna keep my life insane
|
And keep my mind inside the rain
|
And see the false securities
|
And understand the highway
|
Made a lotta stupid moves
|
I've always got some point to prove
|
I ain't exactly all that nice
|
I've got to do it my way
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS)
|
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
