Looking back
I should have known all the nights that I spent out in space
If in fact I had said no, what becomes of this
It's hard to say and I'll feel better
with the breeze on my back
And I'll sleep better, knowing it's in the past

Looking back
I should have known all the nights
that I spent in outer space
Cigarettes and old regrets piled in a stack
out in the back of my brain

When you walk away it better be for good
I put my money on a horse who won't be steered
on any course or lane
And if I ever see a dime, you'd take that money
to divide and separate

When you walk away, it better be for good
I know you'll be there in the rain
glowing like the first night
Telling me you've changed
I know you'll be there in the rain
glowing like the first night
Trying to explain that

When you walk away, it's gonna be for good
You were my Tom Verlaine, just sitting on the hood
Woo wah
