The Lace - Benjamin Orr

Just walking through the city

Some need to sort things out.

I don’t need to know the pity

I’m feeling for us now.

We walked right back together

Back when I hardly knew

Why do the strangest things

Bring back those times with you?

Just when we’re getting closer

I’m seeing something new.

Just soaking up the city

Drifting the days away

Searching through crowds of people

The face that got away

We’ve had good times together

Put all my dreams on you

You let me down somehow

And now I see where to

Turns out my best just

Wasn’t good enough for you.

You couldn’t recognize a loss in the world

I want to lose yourself

You couldn’t feel at all.

Everything just ends up so sad

Too bad…

I gave it what I had.

Just walking through the city

Drifting the days away… yeah

Searching through crowds of people

The lace that got away.

You’re telling me it’s nothing

When I don’t watch, you stare

How could I get to you

When you were never there?

We walked right back together

Back when I hardly knew

Why do the strangest things

Bring back those times with you?

Just when we’re getting closer

I’m seeing something new.

You couldn’t recognize a loss in the world

So sad…
