Lines of Taxi Cabs

Verse:
We used to walk down Westbank drive, May evenings when I felt alive.
Waiting for our rides to arrive.
You know that I don't miss you, and I need my space...
but I still look look through your Facebook, just to remember your face.
Chorus:
I wonder where you go,
What you're into and who you know,
if you're up at night, trying to see
and thinking of me.
I don't know what to do,
keep on looking for somebody new,
but it's true, no matter what I do,
I can't get over you.
Verse:
Well I'm no Casanova,
but sometimes some girls come over
and I can't remember the last kiss that I had sober.
Well they say love's cheaply bought,
but it sure cost me a lot in taxi fares,
when I'm tryin' to sort out my fares.
Chorus:
I wonder where you go,
what you're into and who you know.
If you're up at night, trying to see
and thinking of me.
Outro:
Cuz every day we're getting older,
each damn night a little colder,
and I don't know where we're going anyway.
Because lines of taxi cabs appear,
but I ain't sure if they're far or near,
oh my dear.

Boy:
Oh since you left me dear,
things they ain't been clear, you know.
Where did all our dreams go?
Girl:
Don't look hard for those dreams,
because you broke them with your own hands,
your ego-centric mind and world conquering plans
You never had time for me,
used up all your energy, too many nights I spent alone
without you picking up your phone.
Chorus:
Why can't I get through
I work to make my dreams come true
but they're empty without you.
And I can't lead a normal life, (said I)
a house three kids and a wife,
I want to leave something behind.
Girl:
Am I not enough for you?
Look into my eyes and tell me true,
because your lies cannot hide, all the madness inside.
Because you've got a lot of stuff,
but we both know you'll never get enough.
Because through the class slips the sand,
despite your world conquering plans.
Boy and Girl:
Why can't you understand,
(girl) that I ain't your woman,
because everything has turned so bland.
(girl) I wanted my lover back
(boy) your eyes give heartt attacks but
(both) oh you're hurting me so bad.
(boy) and I just want you back
(girl) but you wont treat me right
(boy) oh I just want you back
(girl) baby I don't want to fight
(girl) because you're perfect just the way you are,
no I would change a thing,
but his ain't right for me,
so I have got to leave.
Oohh
Oohh
Boy and Girl (finale):
I stay up late at night, wondering where the good times go
and though we tried, I know they're gone for sure.
I love d the time we had, I hoped it would never end
but no matter where you go, I will always send...
my love to you.
Fin.

Verse:
Out…all of the lights are out,
where we used to scream and shout,
the night away.
Cold…my heat is getting cold,
Maybe just getting old,
as I was always, always going to be.
Chorus:
Oh life keeps on changing,
slipping away form me,
and I still don’t know who,
I’m supposed to be.
The times keeps on moving,
slipping away you know,
but I still don’t know where,
I’m supposed to go.
Verse:
I… boarded the 803,
So I wouldn’t have to see,
the suburbs change.
The route... took me by your home,
and I saw that I’d been sold,
but I just can’t…get it through my head.
Chorus:
How life keeps on changing,
slipping away from me,
and I still don’t know who,
I’m supposed to be.
The times keeps on moving,
slipping away you know,
but I still don’t where,
I’m supposed to go.
Bridge:
Oh you know, that time does fly, at least we’re alive
Even for today (oh you know baby even just for today).
Just want, the world to remember my name,
and know it was important,
know it was important ok.
Chorus:
How life keeps on changing,
slipping away form me,
and I still don’t know who,
I’m supposed to be.
The times keep on moving,
slipping away you know,
but I still don’t know where,
I’m supposed to go.

Westlake and Boston
03:51
|
|||
Verse:
I remember the park
And lying there in the dark
black ties and eyes for you.
Remember those afternoons
that we spent in your room
back when everything was new
Chorus:
Dancing with you girl, alone in my room
these memories, get me though the gloom
I wouldn’t trade not a second away, not the fights or the foibles, oh no.
Verse:
Blinded by the white
in the freezing night
when we walked so slow
through the Boston snow you know.
But now that we’ve gone away
because we just couldn’t stay
I know the memories won’t fade.
Chorus:
Dancing with you girl
alone in my room
these memories get me though the gloom
I wouldn’t trade not a second away not the fights or the foibles, oh no.
Bridge:
I wonder how long
It will take for someone like you to come along?
Oh I hope they’re coming fast,
because I’m so tired of living in the past.
and though we hurt each other bad
I hope you can still smile at what we had
because the times they are a moving
but my heart is still grooving to our song.
Chorus:
Dancing with you girl, alone in my room.
These memories get me though the gloom.
I wouldn’t trade not a second away,
not the fights or the foibles oh no.
Fin.
