lyrics

Sunday afternoon and all is still and all is calm
Except the pounding in my head of a drunken drummer that doesn't know the song
Days of wine and roses gone but the memory remains the same
I may not think as clearly now but it haunts me just the same

So now I sit with my mistakes and I wait and wait and wait
But I can't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore even if I tried

It's not like we never tried to mend what had been torn
I wear my heart upon my sleeve; my jacket cruel, unkind, and worn
Lookin' back it ain't the smartest thing but at the time it's hard to tell
Like my reflection in the mirror - eyes closed heaven, open hell

So now I sit with my mistakes and I wait and wait and wait
But I can't love you anymore
I couldn't love you anymore even if I tried

If I tried would you take me back
If I tried would you take me back
Back to a time when I didn't have to try
