lyrics
You could have told me sooner
When you told me “slow down”
I know that you’re new here
In this part of town
Winds blew cold fear at noon
And the skies fell dark
It's the same old tune
Searching for the spark
You could have been my lover
But now we are just friends
It could have been so beautiful
Instead of pain as usual
if only I had known
From the expressions that were shown
I would have taken it slow
But you ran away so fast
But we kind of agreed
To leave it in the past
You could have been my lover
But now we are just friends
When you told me “slow down”
I know that you’re new here
In this part of town
Winds blew cold fear at noon
And the skies fell dark
It's the same old tune
Searching for the spark
You could have been my lover
But now we are just friends
It could have been so beautiful
Instead of pain as usual
if only I had known
From the expressions that were shown
I would have taken it slow
But you ran away so fast
But we kind of agreed
To leave it in the past
You could have been my lover
But now we are just friends
