where do you go
Texas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yea even when we made it you felt more out of touch each day
And baby, where'd you go?
Do you ever know?
Yeah every night you tell me no one else could feel your pain
You'd wander in your own head, losing you again and again
But baby, where'd you go?
I'm taking what is mine
I know that's hard sometimes
Now take your time
I'll be there always and again
Yeah we'll be fine
And you can't let her show your face
And you feel like you're such a waste
And it's a hard day to come
Every time you told me you were gonna start again
It's just another number like trying to draw without a pen
Yeah baby, where'd you go?
It's time for you to know
I know that you're in pain
I'm here for you, just say
Now take your time
I'll be there always and again
Yeah we'll be fine
And you can't let her show your face
And you feel like you're such a waste
It's a hard day to come
But you know I still believe in you
I'm taking on a train
I don't know what I'll do
And still, you're running in my mind
I'd give up on the world
I'd choose you every time
So baby, where'd you go?
Yeah, did you ever know?
I'm taking what is mine
I know that's hard sometimes
When we were much younger I knew that you'd never stay
Yeah even when we made it you felt more out of touch each day
And baby, where'd you go?
Do you ever know?
And baby, where'd you go?
Do you ever know?
