May not get back what we have, 
What I threw away. 
But you know I will do anything, 
Anything you say. 
Across a thousand miles of broken glass, 
On my hands and knees. 
I would crawl if for a moment, 
We could seize hostility. 

But it seemed like such a good idea at the time; 
Such a very, very good idea at the time. 
I don't know where I am, 
Don't know where I went wrong. 
Over the wedding stone, again

I don't know where I am, 
Don't know where I went wrong. 
Over the wedding stone, again

Never between it's over, 
But lately I have found, 
That you only seem to come alive, 
When I' am not around. 

But it seemed like such a good idea at the time; 
Such a very, very good idea at the time. 
I don't know where I am, 
Don't know where I went wrong. 
Over the wedding stone, again

Well it seemed like such a good idea at the time; 
Such a very, very good idea at the time. 

I don't know where I am, 
Don't know where I went wrong. 
Over the wedding stone, again

I don't know where I am, 
Don't know where I went wrong. 
Over the wedding stone
