Before


I watch as she crosses the floor

I said nothing

As she silently slammed the door

She tip toes to me

And I long to hold her more

She stands there

As I fight my silent war

I wonder why we drifted apart

I wonder if we should start

To try to make it right

What we couldn't make right before

I pull her to me

And we collapse to the floor

Should we partake in this moment of sin

Oh baby

Should we start this over again

She whispers in my ear

All the things I want to hear

No one will ever know

We don't have to let it show

But if we decide to start

Will the path lead apart

As we lay sprawled on the floor

Oh baby

I can't help but think of before

She says she wants to start anew

But is that what we should do

I don't want you to go

But baby I just don't know

And if it's love you're looking for

I've given all I could before

Oh baby

I can't help but think of before

I think you should take your things

and leave

I need some time to think

She says we should go down to the beach

I think what we're looking for is out of reach

we've already left our footprints

In the sand

I'm telling you I don't know if I can

I think we should finish this chapter

Close the door

And make the stand

As the waves start to crash upon the shore

Oh baby

I can't help but think of before
