lyrics

Everything could have been different
Eyes could have closed
Heads could have easily turned
Minds could have changed
The good times could have rolled away

You could have loved me less
Then, I could place blame
We could both sleep soundly
Or lie wide-awake
And the good times could have rolled away

But would anything ever then move
On the rails of a train
That have split through
Down two separate ways?

The skies could have all been heavy
Goodbyes could have easily rained
I could have been helpless
And had a scapegoat I needed to name
The good times could have rolled away
And the good times could have rolled away

So bring me up blindly anyway that you can
Let me down kindly off the lines in your hand
‘Cause inside the fist there is a watering can
That cries out forgiveness through the eyes of every man.
