lyrics

They took my car away today
They took my home to make me pay
For all the times I’d had I shouldn’t have
I had a promising career
In a little town 10 miles away
I never thought that I would stay so long

And if I’d known what I know now
That everything is up for grabs
And nothing is beyond our grasp at all
And we can reach right out and touch the stars
Clean up the mess and heal the scars
And feel again

I ended up behind this bar
Without my house without my car
I never thought that you would leave me too
And now there’s little left to say
They’re taking me away today
I never thought that I could stay so long

And if I’d known what I know now
That everything is up for grabs
And nothing is beyond our grasp at all
And we can reach right out and touch the stars
Clean up the mess and heal the scars
And feel again

And if I’d known what I know now
Then I would not have let you go
And everything could have been good again
And I could reach right out and heal your scars
Clean up the mess and feel the stars...and breathe again
