Lyrics

Like It Was
©2000, Bar Scott

I lie alone with just a light on
The telephone and a day-old coffee by the bed
Rehearsing every line before it’s said

I’ll let it ring and then I’ll say
That I’ve been fine and I’m so happy that you’ve been
Daddy says I play that game with him

You said, I said
Around again
Control yourself, I tell myself,
We’ll love again
Try again
Here we go again

If I’d worn a different blouse and tried not to talk so much
I know it could be like it was

Dropped by your house again this morning
The hose was out and the paper in
You’re sleepin’ in
I guess you couldn’t hear the doorbell ring

You said, I said
Around again
Control yourself, I tell myself,
We’ll love again
Try again
Here I go again

If I could touch you, and you would touch me
I swear it could be like it was
Ow! Ow!
