I remember
the way you looked at me
There ain't nothin' in this
world that's free
And every day I'm payin' for
the memory of you smilin'
Is the gunman thinkin' of
God?
Is he standin' in the fire in the squall?
And I wonder,
do you think about the taste of our embraces?
I out my window at the flying snow
There's so many things
that I don't know
And I'm try ing to keep my eyes on
a single snowflake as it's falling
Oh, what we set out to be,
I swear I don't remember a word we said
Oh, what we set out to be,
those big ideas went like whiskey straight to our heads
You and me, how far are we from what
we set out to be?
When the bottom fell out,
well, I went down
Into this dark and broken town
Another shower in the bathroom
makes a cloud over my bedspread
I lay down on it, gotta get some rest
My heart abounding beneath
my breast
There's a billion different reasons to
explain just why I'm here now
None of them will satisfy
None of them explain just why
I've compromised your happiness
to satisfy my ego
Oh, what we set out to be I swear I
don't remember a word we said
Oh, what we set out to be
Those big ideas went like whistly
Straight to our heads
You and me, how far are we
From what we set out to be
I remember the way you looked at me
When nothing in this world
