Lyrics for Song: What Would You Say To Me
Lyrics for Album: Between Here and Gone [2004]
What would you say to me?
What would you say to me?
What would you say to me,
If we met one day?
On the street of broken dreams.
On the street of broken dreams.
On the street of broken dreams,
Not so far away
Would you offer me a smile?
Would you offer me a smile?
Would you stop and talk a while,
Or would you walk away?
Why would you wanna see?
Why would you wanna see,
Another tear from me?
It's just a game you play.
You're not the only one.
You're not the only one,
When all was said an' done,
Who had to hurt this way.
Well, take a walk around the town.
Take a walk around this town.
Collar up an' head down,
Agaianst the cold and grey.
We're only strangers here. (Strangers here.)
We're just like strangers here. (Strangers here.)
Hearts full of achin' fear,
Whisper: "Come what may."
Time only goes one way.
Time only goes one way.
Time only knows one way,
And it ain't come back.
So when you remember me,
When you remember me,
Some might, tenderly,
Just remember that.
What would you say to me?
What would you say to me?
What would you say to me,
If we met one day?
