the time has come there is no second chance we ve been drifting on an empty aching sea you were the girl i never knew i wanted i was the boy you hoped you d never see chorus and it s a shame that we ain t lovers we could have been somethin so big and grand just kissin for hours underneath that sweet magnolia beggin for answers tryin to make a stand been burnin up the hours talkin to the midnight just dreamin of ways i could hold you next to me but maybe it just wasn t meant all things have a reason maybe our hearts were just to careless and free chorus there was a time when you would have had me there was a time i could have had you but it s too late another path has come and gone again i m at the back door with a broken window view thinkin chorus i m tired of writin but i can t put down my pen it s too late now to talk or turn back so just hold on cause baby here we go again headin the wrong way down that one way track chorus
