If I took back my silver hand
The one you never wanted anyway
And if I took back all the postcards
Took back all the letters
That I wrote to you each day
If I took back Baltimore
And all the other nights I wouldn't take your call
Or that I used you as a crutch
Did I lean on you too much
Hopin' you would break my fall
Could we go back and start again
If we're not family would we at least be friends
And if my wandering ever brought me to your door
Do you believe we'd fall in love just like before
I'd like to still be in your bed
But I would settle for your life instead
If I took back my silver hand
Could we go back and start again
Can I take back the setting sun
From the graveyard at the chapel of your (?)
Or that I'd left behind my (?)
Asleep in your white shadow on the pillow at your side
If we hadn't scrutinized
All of the lies that we both told
And if I hadn't been so careless
Desperately trying to hand over my soul
Could we go back and start again
If we're not family would we at least be friends
And if my wandering ever brought me to your door
Do you believe we'd fall in love just like before
I'd like to still be in your bed
But I would settle for your life instead
If I took back my silver hand
Could we go back and start again
And if I hadn't read for union
With my hand upon your lips
And if your eyes had not been water
And I hadn't been so thirsty lookin' at you from a cage
If I hadn't promised everything
Oh now none of them came true
I'd have no songs about remembrance
No songs about forgiveness
No songs of me and you
I'd have no songs about remembrance
No songs about forgiveness
No songs of me and you
La da da, da da da da
