VERSE 1:
what if i bit my lip and saved your space?
may as well give it away…
erase my face…
replace my race…
CHORUS 1:
t-t-t-turpentine …
(i) try to change your mind everyday
’til you finally find the needle…
’til you finally find the needle…
may you finally find that needle in the hay…
VERSE 2:
what if i did the time and got away?
cuz nothing i seem to say
will solve the crime
or change your mind
CHORUS 2:
so pardon me…
cuz part of me wants to stay…
and walk on pins and needles…
and break up like the beatles…
declare that there ain’t nothing left to say…
(declare that there ain’t nothing left to say…)
BRIDGE:
so make a pact with me
we’ll face the fact…
we’ll hide our history …
and stage…
our final act…
and stage…
stage our final act…
OUTRO:
here’s to the one who got away…
(and so i go it alone…)
(time waits for no man…)
(picture yourself in a boat on a river…)
(take me to the river…)
(dear prudence….)
(the sun is up…the sky is blue…it’s beautiful…and so are you…)
(you thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever…)
(i’ve been dazed and confused for so long it’s not true…)
