Back In Your Life

You smiled at me, I knew something was up

It was quicksilver hard to explain

You quoted some verse to me to show that you sparkled

I saw neurons go flash in my brain

It took quite a while

To figure out your style

Talking to you on the phone

It seems funny now

You can be close somehow

To someone that you don't really know

Yeah

What would it take to get back in your life?

I hate that I'm losing a friend

I tried making you laugh

I tried making you cry

Is this how our story will end?

We had a few drinks

Never touched, only looked

We shared pictures, your's were better than mine

But there was a moment

We knew we were hooked

It was only a matter of time

But when the passion came

We broke the porcelain

Secrets fell soft in the night

I smell your skin and hair

In the dawn, you disappeared

And you never even wrote me a line

Yeah

What would it take to get back in your life?

I hate that I'm losing a friend

I tried making you laugh

I tried making you cry

Is this how our story will end?

Yeah, is this how our love's gonna end?

Oh, what would it take to get back in your life?

It's deafening silence again

You see, the truth to be told

Is often served cold

Is this how our story will end?

Oh, I hate that I'm losing a friend

Yeah

Come on, Ronnie

Oh, what would it take?

What would it take?

I must have said sorry, sorry a thousand times, yeah

Yeah, am I, am I trash on your floor?

Since you showed me the door

And I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting for you to write me just one little line

One little line, yeah

Hey, you vanished in the city's haze

Yeah, you fading out like crazy

And never, never, never left no goodbye
