Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wake up in the morning
And it cuts me like a knife
I come face-to-face with my longing
For another world, another life
[Chorus]
And a time that never was
Oh, a time that never was
[Verse 2]
We drove on, fueled not by the future
But by a past we could never touch
Forced to run head-on collisions
'Til we vanished in the dust
[Chorus]
Of a time that never was
The time that never was
[Instrumental]
So kiss me once more, baby
One more kiss, baby, you must
Don't ever let me forget, girl
A time that never was
[Chorus]
A time that never was
The time that never was
Oh, the time that never was
A time that never was
