22 and not knowing what to do

I had just come out of love and was falling hard for you

Out of town and running out of time

I had my whole life in my head but I couldn't make up my mind

And if I'd had to be someone, I'd been the one one for you

But I couldn't keep chasing my mind

Couldn't keep falling behind

It was happening time and time again it's true

22

Going all the way on days that do go by

I turned myself away from pain 'til I couldn't even cry

Through and through you worked those fingers blue

You couldn't come across another one 'played as hard as you

And when it seemed to eat you up that we would never love

It was me who dealt the pain

Now I'm just out here chippin' away

Trying to train my brain to not do that again

Going all the way

Winnipeg - what an awful place to be

But I still miss those cold nights down on Osborne Street

Pissed me off when I took my final walk

No more Eric, no more Blue, no more Curtis Falk

Those folks could sing the whole night away

You could barely feel your toes

And your fingers as they froze

The wind still blowing at your nose

It's what our parents chose

I guess we'll stay another day

Winnipeg

And if I'd had to be someone, I'd been the one one for you

But I couldn't keep chasing my mind

Couldn't keep falling behind

It was happening time and time again it's true
