Should've Followed Through

Back when we were both young and when Austin was Austin Went to hear you sing live and each song I got lost in We stood outside at the Cactus Café As your crowd shuffled home You said the shows were all great But the road was exhausting I said, "Where do you go next?" You said, "Up to Wildflower" - I said, "Yeah that's tomorrow, how about the next hour?" You laughed and said, "That's a pretty good line. Well, come on girl, let's go" - But I stepped back afraid of my own sudden power While the midnight bells rang in the big campus tower I should have followed through wherever that night might lead I should have followed through for something my heart might need That something in your smile As sweet as it was wild And when I think of you Oh, I should've followed through With those baby blue eyes and that buffalo necklace I was caught between being good and being reckless You said, "It's alright, I know how it goes, I'll catch you next time around - Look me up anytime that you're passing through Texas" - Me, I still like to think that that moment connects us Oh, I should've followed through Followed through then and there Cause we had a moment where we could have been more than friends And when I heard you were gone Oh, your music will always live on And so will that night That still thrills me the most Of feeling so much Of standing so close Oh, I should've followed through That something in your eyes That something never dies And when I think of you Oh, I should've followed through
