AFTER SCHOOL
WALKING HOME
FRESH DIRT UNDER
MY FINGERNAILS
AND
I CAN SMELL
HOT ASPHALT
CARS SCREECH
TO A HALT
TO LET ME PASS
AND I CANNOT
REMEMBER WHAT LIFE
WAS LIKE THROUGH
PHOTOGRAPHS
AND TRYING TO
RECREATE IMAGES
LIFE GIVES US FROM
OUR PAST
AND SOMETIMES
IT'S A SAD SONG
BUT I
CANNOT FORGET
REFUSE TO REGRET
SO GLAD
I MET YOU AND
TAKE MY
BREATH AWAY
MAKE EVERYDAY
WORTH ALL OF THE
PAIN THAT I HAVE
GONE THROUGH
AND MAMA I'VE
BEEN CRYIN' 'CAUSE
THINGS AIN'T HOW
THEY USED TO BE
SHE SAID
THE BATTLE'S
ALMOST WON
AND WE'RE ONLY
SEVERAL MILES
FROM THE SUN
OH OH OH OH
OH OH OH OH
YEAH YEAH
NOW MOVING ON
DOWN MY STREET
I SEE PEOPLE I WON'T
EVER MEET
I THINK OF HER
TAKE A BREATH
FEEL THE BEAT
IN THE RHYTHM
OF MY STEPS
AND SOMETIMES
IT'S A SAD SONG
BUT I
CANNOT FORGET
REFUSE TO REGRET
SO GLAD
I MET YOU AND
TAKE MY
BREATH AWAY
MAKE EVERYDAY
WORTH ALL OF THE
PAIN THAT I HAVE
GONE THROUGH
AND MAMA I'VE
BEEN CRYIN' 'CAUSE
THINGS AIN'T HOW
THEY USED TO BE
SHE SAID
THE BATTLE'S
ALMOST WON
AND WE'RE ONLY
SEVERAL MILES
FROM THE SUN
THE RHYTHM OF
HER CONVERSATION
THE PERFECTION OF
HER CREATION
THE SEX SHE SLIPPED
INTO MY COFFEE
THE WAY SHE FELT
WHEN SHE FIRST
SAW ME
HATE TO LOVE AND
LOVE TO HATE HER
LIKE A BROKEN
RECORD PLAYER
BACK AND FORTH
AND HERE AND GONE
AND ON AND ON
AND ON AND ON
I CANNOT FORGET
REFUSE TO REGRET
SO GLAD
I MET YOU AND
TAKE MY
BREATH AWAY
MAKE EVERYDAY
WORTH ALL OF THE
PAIN THAT I HAVE
GONE THROUGH
AND MAMA I'VE
BEEN CRYIN' 'CAUSE
THINGS AIN'T HOW
THEY USED TO BE
SHE SAID
THE BATTLE'S
ALMOST WON
AND WE'RE ONLY
SEVERAL MILES
SHE SAID
THE BATTLE'S
ALMOST WON
AND WE'RE ONLY
SEVERAL MILES
FROM THE SUN
YEAH
WOAH OH OH OH OH
OH OH OH OH
SEVERAL MILES
FROM THE SUN
YEAH
YEAH YEAH
WOOO
WOAH WOAH
WOAH WOAH
YEAH
OH OH YEAH
