Untitled [Live]
She takes it deep to the heart right from the start
She talks softly over a glass of wine
Now and again she's more than a friend
Why don't you just throw me a line?
But it would be great if she'd dedicate
Just a minute from her precious time
I'll give it a while but that's not my style
How is that a crime?
And everyone says that I'm wild
Pardon my French but I still know my child
And that was the day I told her I need more time
Oh, I began walking when she was still talking
When I'm looking for that exit sign
Well, pardon my face but I'm leaving no trace
'Cause I really haven't got the time
Well, I began thinking and my heart is just sinking
And I'm looking for that place to go
Well, isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad?
You never really let her know
And everyone says that she's crying
But I can't forget all the time I was trying
And that was the day I told her I need more time
I know, I know what it feels like to be alone
I sayin' that I know, I know what it feels like to be at home
I sayin' that I like, I like stopping to say hello
It's my life, my life, why can't we take this slow?
Why won't you take me slow?
Why can't you take me slow?
I've been through your phases
I'm walking through your mazes
I'm so damn sick, I'm so tired
It isn't fair but I was never aware
Of the patience you always required
But if I could've kissed you every time that I missed you
I would still have walked out that door
'Cause now and again I can assure you as a friend
Isn't that what you are for?
And everyone says that I'm lying
But I can't forget the time I was trying
And that was the day I told her I need more time
Yeah I know, I know what it feels like to be alone
I sayin' that I know, I know what it feels like to be at home
I sayin' that I like, I like stopping to say hello
This is my life, my life, why can't we take this slow?
Take it slow, don't you know?
Do you like? Don't you know?
I could've loved you the way that you need me to
I could've loved you
I could've had you the way that I wanted to
I could've had you
I could've broke it down round for round
We could've gone all night and get back, back to town
Could've had you and loved you and gave it to you good
But you never really had me and never really should
You ain't not even nothing and nothing is good
And I took my title right off me for good
And maybe one day we will get it back strong
I'll wait till then and I'll be so long gone
I know, I know what it's like just to be alone
Well, I know, I know what it's like just to live at home
Well, I like, I like sitting back and staying low
It's my life, my life, why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take it slow, take it slow?
