  • It seemed so easy at the start
    When I left my heart
    Sitting on the roof of the car
    And drove off

    And I rushed to leave the past behind
    Forgot that heart was mine
    I didn't even know at the time
    I had one

    I put the pedal to the floor
    Heading for the western shore
    Thinking only of high times
    I had there

    Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel
    I thought I'd fly too high to fall
    But I never flew
    Never left the ground at all

    Greedy to get underway
    I made that old mistake
    Of sneering at familiar streets
    And faces

    Did you marry someone good
    From our neighbourhood
    Or are you on the other side of the world
    Still searching

    Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel
    I thought I'd fly too high to fall
    But I never flew
    Never left the ground at all, at all
    So next time, time, time
    I'll dream in days or on your mind
    Look me up, 'cause I
    Never left those days behind, behind

    I've done some things I never should have done
    Now I've come down, don't tell me that I'm out of time
    Turn back your love upon a pie-eyed fool
    Forget the things I did

    When I was cruel, cruel, cruel
    I thought I'd fly too high to fall
    'Cause I never flew
    Never left the ground at all, at all
    So next time, time, time
    I'll dream in days or on your mind
    Look me up, 'cause I
    Never left those days behind, behind Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
