When You Were Mine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ooh, I bet the necklace that I bought you still falls the same
On your shoulder blade
I used to kiss there
You know I love you, know I love to watch you walk away
But then you walked away
Can we get back there?
Bedroom, sheets, flowers, colored candy, yeah, that's you
Let's just live in an alternate time
Fly in familiar skies
High up like when you were mine, baby
I keep hoping for one chance to try
One dance that leads to tonight
Ending like when you were mine
Fly in familiar skies
High up like when you were mine
I can still see your shape in my covers
All alone on my side of the bed, yeah
Is your shape lying next to another?
Can we just go back to when
It was valentine's, purple wine, 1999?
Let's just live in an alternate time
Fly in familiar skies
High up like when you were mine, baby
I keep hoping for one chance to try
One dance that leads to tonight
Ending like when you were mine
Fly in familiar skies
High up like when you were mine, baby
I keep hoping for one chance to try
One dance that leads to tonight
Ending like when you were mine
Let's just live in an alternate time
Fly in familiar skies
High up like when you were mine, baby
I keep hoping for one chance to try
One dance that leads to tonight
Ending like when you were mine
