Lyrics The Years Gone By

The Years Gone By

Them-1 Me-0

She couldn't take it, she had the notion

That I was leaving on the first flight back home

Go back to Jersey, her friends would all say

It's better being home than being miserable anyway

Before we go off, I have to say this

I never broke my promise

You lacked in that department

How could I be wrong?

How long could this stand?

Your heart knows me better than you think you know all your friends

I know that you're sleeping

You're running away with him

And I won't wake you up till its over

And I know that you're sleeping

Dreaming of what you've been

And I won't wake you up cause its over

To fix the problem, you'd have to find it

Look to your friends, you'll find an answer bearing any substance

Match made in heaven, broke in the suburbs

I saw the future so I guess I know why it hurts

And what's worse, is you, would never have to play the games that you put me through

With high hopes, to lose, I'm better off dead than ever being next to you

I know that you're sleeping

You're running away with him

And I won't wake you up till its over

And I know that you're sleeping

Dreaming of what you've been

And I won't wake you up cause its over

What more could you want that you haven't taken?

(What more could you want?)

The rules that were made were the rules we were breaking

(Rules we're breaking)

So what more could you that you haven't taken

The rules that we're breaking, it's yours for the taking

I know that you're sleeping

You're running away with him

And I won't wake you up till its over

And I know that you're sleeping

Dreaming of what you've been

And I won't wake you up cause its over

I know that you're sleeping

I know that you're sleeping

I won't wake you up cause it's over
