When You Were Mine

A different set of eyes for every story

A heaven not so far away from hell

A bittersweet reminder of the way things used to be

Before that love we had around us slipped and fell

Chorus: It's right there in your eyes

We can't go back the way we came

There's more to lose and less to gain

In dreams of yesterday

There's no surprise

You walk the wire you're bound to fall

You run to him and I recall

The time when you were mine

When you were mine

Now I may take a fast train

Burn all my credentials as I go

It's stranger than religion

It's a realm of indecision

It's the only place in town I want to go

Repeat Chorus At times like these don't disregard what's gone before

There's always something worthwhile knockin' on your door

Repeat Chorus
