Looking back, I should have known
All the nights that I spent in outer space
If in fact, I had said no
What becomes of this? It's hard to say
I'll feel better with the breeze on my back
And I'll sleep better knowing it's in the past
Looking back, I should have known
All the nights that I spent in outer space
Cigarettes and old regrets
Piled in a stack out in the back of my brain
When you walk away
Better be for good
I put my money on a horse
Who won't be steered on any course or lane
And if I ever see a dime
You'd take that money to divide and separate
When you walk away
It better be for good
I know you'll be there in the rain
Glowing like the first night
Telling me you've changed
I know you'll be there in the rain
Glowing like the first night
Trying to explain
That when you walk away
It's gonna be for good
You were my Tom Verlaine
Just sitting on the hood
