Every Time I Look For You

I never found out why you left him

But this answer begs that question

Too blind to see tomorrow

Too broke to beg or borrow

Young and stupid

Left wide open

Hearts are wasted

Lives are broken

One more point of contention

I need some intervention

Approached with vague intentions

Betray my short attention

Span the distance

Bridge the border

Beg forgiveness

'Round the corner

Every time I look for you, the sun goes down

And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground

I left another message, you are never around

But every time I look for you, the sun goes down once more

Will the last one out please shut the door?

More time apart will give you

A few more months to argue

Is this too much to live through?

It always seemed too far to

Drive the point home

Send more letters

Pray tomorrow

Ends up better

Every time I look for you, the sun goes down

And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground

I left another message, you are never around

But every time I look for you, the sun goes down once more

Will the last one out please shut the door?

I never did do anything that she asked

I never let what happened stay in the past

I never did quite understand what she meant

In spite of everything, in spite of everything

Every time I look for you, the sun goes down

And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground

I left another message, you are never around

But every time I look for you, the sun goes down

And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground

I left another message, you are never around

But every time I look for you, the sun goes down
