I keep waiting
For it to be how it used to be
Look for your face in every crowd
And tell myself to keep looking
Should I have told you
Well I guess we'll never know
Think you'd like that I'll forever walk next to your ghost
But this time around
I think a little piece of me knows you're gone
And when I go back
And ask you to stay
Would you tell me
That it's still a good place
You are the North Star
To every sea I sail
And maybe I could map the whole world's oceans but I'd fail
Cause I remember
All the little things
And every time I try to let you go you come back to me
But this time around
I think a little piece of me knows you're gone
And when I go back
And ask you to stay
Would you tell me
That it's still a good place
Yeah this time around
I think a little piece of us knows you're gone
And when we go back
And ask you to stay
Would you tell us
It's still a good place
Momma always told me never play with nice girls
Think they're better and they can't light a cigarette
Even worse they will do what their told too
Well she didn't listen when I said turn back
Burn that car I wanna burn that car
Make it an ashtray and burn that car
Key that car I wanna key that car
Pop all the tires and burn that car
Momma always told me never play with bad girls
Get into trouble and they
Get into trouble and they
You know I'll give it to you, uh uh uh
What no one will give to you, uh uh uh
You think I've wronged you, did you forget?
I picked you up when you were drunk and you saw three of me
I always did
I always did
I always did
We were driving down Cumberland road
We were fighting, god it was the snow
You were driving, I said you were fine
It was a normal party, like any other night
There was the red light
The road was empty
December icy
Ran it way too fast
Another car we could
Not
See
It's been a while since I've been here before
Seen every house, knocked on every door
And maybe I saw you cry one night
Did you say, where did my baby go
Up in the light
Up so high
Up in the light
It was so kind
Always thought it would be so cold
Never grew up, never got old
And maybe I, pervade your mind
Did you say Oh, she went too young
Don't go searching
For someone you can't see
And If I'm a vigil
Would you save one last hail Mary for me
But this time around
I think a little piece of me knows you're gone
And when I go back
And ask you to stay
Would you tell me
It's still a good place
This time around
I think a little piece of us knows you're gone
And when we go back
And tell you to stay
Would you tell us
It's still a good place
She was a nice girl
A vigil in the night
A Madonna if you've ever seen one
And I loved her
I loved her
We loved her
