On My Way Home

Beth Orton
If I hadn't met you, on my way home
I might have got there "˜bout an hour ago,
I washed away by the rain, was waiting for the bus it never came
I would be heading around the thick leaves
I'd be tangled up with him
I'd be running "˜round in circles
I'd be lost without the sin
I'd be lying with my lover, I'd be holding back the tears
If I had known would I have loved you forever?
If I had known would I have drunk you in a day?
There's a mini story show
There's a thousand stories lost, on the back seat of a car where the story starts and stops
There's a hole in a pocket, there's a hole in the bucket
There's a hole in your shoe where the light came shining through
If I had known would I have loved you forever?
If I had known would I have loved you for a day?
If I'd known would I have drunk you in forever?
If I hadn' known would I have drunk you in a day?
If I hadn't met you, on my way home
It might have been the same but I don't know
I washed away by the rain, was waiting for the bus it never came
