I Had To Go Lyrics

Take your time
and say you didn't mean it
and if you really mean it
won't you try to help me feel it
in dreams you mime
I'm a little hard to talk to
was it hard for you to see it
when I said I never knew you

I like you better than the clouds in the sky but
I can't remember why a bird wants to fly when
I get this feeling there's a troop train on my tail
I had to go and now that I know I'll hit the trail

take your shot
I'm trying not to move
and to whom it may behoove
just let the needle find the groove
like or not I can see it in your eyes
you're going to try
and there will never be a way
that I can prove
that I was trying not to fly

I like you better than the clouds in the sky but
I can't imagine why a bird wants to fly when
I know I am the loss leader of the sale
I had to go and now that I know I'll hit the trail

take your bow
with love for all the living creatures
you've got to have the latest features
when you're playing for the bleachers
I must allow
you're good at cutting through the tape
with a note from all your teachers
to certify your great escape

I must have got a little soap in my eye but
I can't remember why a bird wants to fly
so I think I'll move it on a little further down the rail
I had to go and now that I know I'll hit the trail
