Everyday"s the same
Cigarettes and rain
I am holding on to a photograph
I took of you
Just before you left
You were smiling like you do
You were on the last train
Headed for a new game
I was on the platform
Trying to think of any way
That I could hold you
I could hold you one last time
Maybe I lost you far too soon
Now there"s a hole in my heart and it"s swallowing the room
There"s a lot of things I want
Some of them I need
The rest is an illusion
Just a mixed up American greed
I don"t know where it all came from
It"s the dream and the obsession
Now a chronic disconnection
I am hanging up the phone
I don"t like the tone
And it"s a long road baby
It"s a long road back from here
Maybe I lost you far too soon
Now there"s a hole in my heart and it"s swallowing the room
Now I am losing all the love I got
Oh baby I"m weeping for the world
That we"ve created
And the children we have not
We are scared and alone
And poised for the kill
And if the guns don"t get us
Then maybe our conscience will
Or maybe we gave in far too soon
And that piece of our heart is off reaching for the moon
Maybe I lost you far too soon
Now there"s a hole in my heart and it"s swallowing the room
Every day"s a new day
A green and a blue day
Every day"s a chance to start again
Make it right
So come on baby
You know I"m gonna love that way
