I wish I had a record
Of the promises you made
So that I could play it back to you.
That record would remind you,

Of which we always spoke?

And maybe you'd come back to me!

Of which we always spoke?
Was it just a pipe dream 
That went up in smoke?
I wish I had a record
Of how close you said we'd be
So that I could play it back to you 
And maybe you'd come back 
To me!
