I wish I could change
Say something new and fresh and strange
Find words that would fall upon your ear
As if you didn't know my name
But those days have passed
Among resolutions that never did last
Promises made while we were naked and cold
Look so different in the light of day
I'm trying to let you go
But letting go is more than just words that we know
It's a feeling sometimes so hard to see
Elusive as if I'm chasing your footprints through the snow
But baby I'll be fine
If you understand that it all takes time
And realize that every song I write contains a similar line
I'll just spell it out this time...
I'd give up every home that I've ever known
Sell all the guitars and records I own
I'd work all day, stay up all night
If any of that meant you'd always be alright
Darling take a rest
Admit for once that you don't always know best
Then when the winds of change come blowing in
You can brace against my chest
And let's take a stand
Remembering we're not the usual plan
But what was ever normal about you and I?
It no longer matters who understands
Chorus
You'll grow old just like everybody else
And when you do could you forgive yourself
If you'd thrown away this love we now know
For some wild nights from long ago
