Lyrics

I recall a time and place when you’d call me ‘baby’

Like a newborn crying out, yeah, you’d just hold me

In the sheets, never lonely

See we had all of the warmth in the world but yet we got so cold

I checked the debris, still don’t know where it went wrong

Went wrong, now gone

I’ve been wide-eyed from sunset to the sunrise

I never really had a bedtime so I’m doing alright

But when I close my eyes, I still think that you’re mine

Wish I could go back in time and set it right

But our hearts weren’t aligned and we were fighting all the time

And your love it was changing, getting complicated

Yeah we tried to save it and didn’t quite make it

Getting back to basics and ripping out the pages

But if you gotta go, you gotta go

And I know you’re tired of tears filling up your eyes

And if you want to know, you ought to know

I always thought it would be you and I

In the summertime, in the spring time, in the winter time

Damn it for a lifetime

So if you gotta go, you gotta go

I always thought we would get it right, yeah

A couple weeks have gone by, now even Mum’s been asking

“How you been? What you doing,and how’s pilates classes?”

Don’t know what Dad would say, but I can see his face

Kinda looks like mine, eyebrow raised and a hundred yard gaze

And I was thinking about that time we met in California

Laying eyes on you was something that I’d never get over

But we got older, couldn’t keep it in order

Couldn’t make it work now our head’s under the water

But if you gotta go, you gotta go

And I know you’re tired of tears filling up your eyes

And if you want to know,you ought to know

I always thought it would be you and I

In the summertime, in the spring time, in the winter time

Damn it for a lifetime

So if you gotta go, you gotta go

I always thought we would get it right, yeah

And I’m back at the headland writing songs where we first met

It’s just me and these six strings but I feel you there

21 seems so long ago, just goes to show you never know

Just what you’ve got and what you had until you watch it go

And how ironic all those songs that I wrote about you and I

Talk about forever and ever and how love could never die

We were so high up

They never loved like us

I’ve never cussed in a song before but baby now it’s all fucked up

But if you gotta go, you gotta go

I know you’re tired of tears filling up your eyes

And if you want to know, you ought to know

I always thought it would be you and I

In the summertime, in the spring time, in the winter time

Damn it for a lifetime

So if you gotta go, you gotta go

I always thought we would get it right, yeah
