Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The time has come, there is no second chance
We've been driftin' on an empty, achin' sea
And you were the girl I never knew I wanted
And I was the boy you hoped you'd never see
[Verse 2]
And it's a shame we ain't lovers
We could've been something so big and grand
Just kissing for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Begging for answers, tryin' to make a stand
[Verse 3]
Been burnin' up the hours, talkin' to the midnight
Just dreaming 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 too careless and free
[Verse 4]
But it's a shame that we ain't lovers
We could've been something so big and grand
Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Begging for answers, tryin' to make a stand
[Verse 5]
There was a time when you would have had me
There was a time when 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, thinking
[Verse 6]
It's a shame that we ain't lovers
We could've been something so big and grand
Just kissing for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
And it's a shame that we ain't lovers
We could've been something so big and grand
Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Begging for answers, tryin' to make a stand
[Verse 9]
It's a shame that we ain't lovers
We could have been something so big and grand
Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand
