Everything We Had

Well I sat down trying to write this song

‘cause you know I can’t resist

The creation of some artefacts

They prove that I exist

But the music wouldn’t happen

And the words, they didn’t come

And just when I had reached the point

That I thought that I was done

Well this momentary lapse of concentration brought me back

To the times when we’re living on the wrong side of the tracks

And we always wanted better

Yeah we always wanted more

I knew those dreams were worth pursuing

But now I’m not so sure

And now these chords and lyrics

They are forming to a song

But I don’t like the specifics 

I can see what’s going wrong

Oh why have this ambition

To know what I need to say

When there’d be no-one there to listen

If you ever went away?

Because this momentary lapse of concentration’s clarified

What my jumbled layers of conscious thought had always tried to hide

And now when I look back to then

It makes me kind of sad

The we got everything we wanted

But lost everything we had
