[Lindsey Buckingham - Shut Us Down]



Oh you and I, we sure can dream

Of conversations that might have been

I know that I treat you unkind

And long ago I lost my mind

And even after all these years

Though I can't even see you clear

I know it's you

Must lie sometimes

To hide the truth

You're trying to find

Oh I shut us down

No I will stay around

As long as I can

As long as I can



Even after all these years

I can't even see you clear

A child is born

Another dies

And every life has its price

No I shut us down

No I will stay around

As long as I can

As long as I can



Oh I shut us down

No I will stay around

As long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can
