Some days you're out of focus, sometimes you can't explain There's a bigger picture outside the frame When you're too stuck in it, you can't see beyond it Take a slow minute, remember life goes on Kick off your Mary Janes and your coat and gloves And hang your hat, it doesn't matter where Come sit beside me, and we can talk about it Wish that I could go back there Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I lose my way, I lose my light Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh What would she say to me tonight? Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I lost my way, I've lost my light Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh What would she say to me? Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I lost my way, I've lost my light Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh What would she say to me? Kick off your Mary Janes, your coat and gloves And hang your hat, it doesn't matter where
