VerseAmI recall a time and Gplace
when you'd call me 'Embaby'
Like a newborn Fcrying out,
yeah, you'd just Amhold me
In the Gsheets, never Flonely
AmSee we had all of the
Gwarmth in the world but yet we got so Emcold
I checked the deFbris,
still don't know where it went Amwrong
Went Gwrong, now gFoneVerseI've Ambeen wide-eyed from sunGset to the sunriseEm
I never really had a bFedtime so I'm doing alriAmght
But when I close my eGyes,
I still think that you're miEmne
Wish I could go back in tFime and set it rightVerseBut our Amhearts weren't aligned and
we were fiGghting all the time
And your lEmove it was changing, gFetting complicated
AmYeah we tried to save it and dGidn't quite make it
GEmetting back to basics and Fripping out the pagesChorusBut if you Amgotta go, you gotta gGo.
And I know you're tiEmred of tears
filling Fup your eyes
And if you Amwant to know, you ought to knGow
I alEmways thought it would be yFou and I
In the Amsummertime, in the sprGing time,
in the Emwinter time
**** it for a liFfetime
So if you Amgotta go, you gotta gGo.
I aEmlways thought we would Fget it right, yeaAmh

VerseAmA couple weeks have gone bGy,
now even Mum's been asEmking
"How you been? What you dFoing,
and how's Pilates claAmsses?"
Don't know what Dad would saGy,
but I can see his facEme.
Kinda looks like mine, eyebrow raFised
and a hundred yard gaAmze
And I was thinking about that Gtime
we met in CaliforniEma
Laying eyes on you was soFmething
that I'd never get oAmver
But we got older, coGuldn't keep it in order
EmCouldn't make it work now our
head's Funder the waterChorusBut if you Amgotta go, you gotta gGo.
And I know you're tiEmred of tears
filling Fup your eyes
And if you Amwant to know, you ought to knGow
I alEmways thought it would be yFou and I
In the Amsummertime, in the sprGing time,
in the Emwinter time
**** it for a liFfetime
So if you Amgotta go, you gotta gGo.
I aEmlways thought we would Fget it right, yeaAmh

BridgeAnd I'mAmback at the headland writing
Gsongs where we first metEm
It's just me and these Fsix strings
but I feel you thereAm
21 seems so long ago,G just goes to
show you never knEmow
Just what you've got and what you
hFad until you watch it go
AmAnd how ironic all those
Gsongs that I wrote about you and IEm
Talk about forever and eFver
and how love could never dieAm
We were so high Gup
They never loved like uEms.
I've never cussed in a song before
but bFaby now it's all ****** upChorusBut if you Amgotta go, you gotta gGo.
And I know you're tiEmred of tears
filling Fup your eyes
And if you Amwant to know, you ought to knGow
I alEmways thought it would be yFou and I
In the Amsummertime, in the sprGing time,
in the Emwinter time
**** it for a liFfetime
So if you Amgotta go, you gotta gGo.
I aEmlways thought we would Fget it right, yeaAmh
