Oh Monday morning waking up
Still too numb to speak
Another night staring at the wall
Last night's conversation
Knocked me off my feet
I guess today I fall

I wish that we could find the words
To look the other way
Be careful of the things we do
And watch the things we say
And maybe then we'd get somewhere
We've never been before
But what's the use in fighting
When you know you've lost the war

Walked the streets of New Orleans
Shirt soaked to my skin
Through the mess of yesterday's parade
A thousand times a day
I think of calling you again
But I come to my senses instead

And everytime we walk away
We lose a little time
Pretending to each other now that
Everything is fine
I know whatever lies I use
To get myself to sleep
I wake up to the promises
I know we couldn't keep

Say you don't see
What's wrong
Every night
Lastin' oh so long
I know, I do
you're already gone

I wonder should I get up
I would but what's the point
Oh when something's gone
It's gone for good
Maybe I could look away
Back to where we used to be
One more time
I wish I could

Oh, never mind the reasons
That tore us all apart
We've both done things
I know we can't defend
What's the use in tracing
It all back to the start
There'll still be something
Missing in the end

I wish that we could find
The words to look the other way
Be careful of the things we do
And everything we say
And maybe then we'd get somewhere
We've never been before
But what's the use in fighting
When you know you've lost the war

Say you don't see
What's wrong
Every night
Lastin' oh so long
I know, I do
You're already gone
Oh I know, I do
You're already gone
