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 every day
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 whoa yeah
Now moving on down my street
I see people I won't ever meet
I think of her
And 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 every day
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 *** 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 every day
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
Said the battle's almost won
And we're only several
Miles from the sun
