22

22 and not knowing what to do I had just come out of love and was falling hard for you Out of town and running out of time I had my whole life in my head but I couldn't make up my mind And if I'd had to be someone, I'd been the one one for you But I couldn't keep chasing my mind Couldn't keep falling behind It was happening time and time again it's true 22 Going all the way on days that do go by I turned myself away from pain 'til I couldn't even cry Through and through you worked those fingers blue You couldn't come across another one 'played as hard as you And when it seemed to eat you up that we would never love It was me who dealt the pain Now I'm just out here chippin' away Trying to train my brain to not do that again Going all the way Winnipeg - what an awful place to be But I still miss those cold nights down on Osborne Street Pissed me off when I took my final walk No more Eric, no more Blue, no more Curtis Falk Those folks could sing the whole night away You could barely feel your toes And your fingers as they froze The wind still blowing at your nose It's what our parents chose I guess we'll stay another day Winnipeg And if I'd had to be someone, I'd been the one one for you But I couldn't keep chasing my mind Couldn't keep falling behind It was happening time and time again it's true 22
