Water is getting into my arch diming out lights - until dark
|
thought my construction was tight thought what I built up might stand the flood
|
stand the flood phrases bearing a questionmark are trying to board my barque
|
again I start thinking what could have been what might have been
|
if I made up my mind in a different way what could have been
|
if I made you stay again I start thinking what do they mean
|
what do they mean all these words like "but" and "if" haunting my brain
|
what does it mean when all the doubts come up again
|
remembering me: what should have been what could have been
|
what if I've followed my vision what if I've sat on the fence
|
if I took a different decision if I felt a change of sense
|
too many things I can't change too many setups I can't rearrange
|
too many unknown lamentos I'm singing of key should I've thought of myself
|
or of the pain inside climbing up the ladder I was put out of the stride
|
should I've tried harder banish my doubts! What do they mean
|
these words like "faith" and "love" bereft of their meaning
|
when push comes to shove what might have been
|
if I made up my mind in a different way what might have been
|
if I made you stay what might have been
|
