Lyrics:
“If Love Could Find Us Now”
The only thing that holds me at this distance from the door
Is one final look at us across the suitcase on the floor
I’ve gone to far for staying, its too late to turn around
But I think I’d try if love could find us nowI’d pick up all the pieces and I’d try to make ’em fit
That ragtag dream we started with still has a song in it
And I’d find a way to sing it, although I don’t know how
I swear I would if love could find us nowIt’s sad the way two people slowly turn their minds and throw their love away
Then turn around and reach out for an answer when there’s nothing left to say
I know it’s time to take my bag and leave before our memory brings us down
Like I know it would, if love could find us nowIt’s sad the way two people slowly turn their minds and throw their love away
Then turn around and reach out for an answer when there’s nothing left to say
I know it’s time to take my bag and leave before our memory brings us down
Like I know it would, if love could find us now
