After school, walkin' home

Fresh dirt under my fingernails and

I can smell hot asphalt

Cars screech to a halt to let me pass

And I cannot remember

What life was like through photographs

And trying to recreate images

Life gives us from our past

And sometimes it's a sad song

But I

Cannot forget, refuse to regret

So glad I met you and

Take my breath away, make everyday

Worth all of the pain that I've gone through

And mama, I've been cryin'

'Cause things ain't how they used to be

She said, the battle's almost won

And we're only several miles from the sun

Woah, yeah

And I'm movin' on down my street

I see people I won't ever meet

I think of her, take a breath

Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps

And sometimes it's a sad song

Oh, but I

Cannot forget, refuse to regret

So glad I met you and

Take my breath away, make everyday

Worth all of the pain that I've gone through

And mama, I've been cryin'

'Cause things ain't how they used to be

She said, the battle's almost won

And we're only several miles from the sun

The rhythm of the conversation

The perfection of her creation

The sex she slipped into my coffee

The way she felt when she first saw me

Yeah, hate to love and love to hate her

Like a broken record player, yeah

Back and forth and here and gone

And on and on and on and on

I cannot forget, refuse to regret

So glad I met you and

Take my breath away, make everyday

Worth all of the pain that I've gone through

And mama, I've been cryin'

'Cause things ain't how they used to be

She said, the battle's almost won

And we're only several miles from the sun

I cannot forget, refuse to regret

So glad I met you and

Take my breath away, make everyday

Worth all of the pain that I've gone through

And mama, I've been cryin'

'Cause things ain't how they used to be

She said, the battle's almost won

And we're only several miles

Say my battle's almost won

And we're only several miles from the sun, yeah

Oh, several miles from the sun, oh

Yeah, yeah yeah

Woo, woah, woah, yeah!
