Million Times - Gerry Diver

I roll up to smoke, I started to blow I took me a trip down an old back road And time moves fast, nothing lasts I'm still traumatized by my thoughts of the past In the kitchen you was doing the dishes Starting off with some kissing and then we got down to business Ended up by the stove, my hands around your throat Just the way you like it, baby, you already know Shorty won't let me in (shorty won't let me in), she mental I fucked up again, she 'bout to act up What's that long face for? That's that sad stuff These back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me You broke my heart a million times, but I won't let it happen You got your space and I got mine, but I won't let it happen Iou, iou, these back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me Iou, iou, these back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me So, where do we go from here? When it all used to be so clear You got me facing the things I fear Has it all just disappeared? Been through it, this ain't nothing new to me Spend my time confusing you, got used to you just using me Always back and forth, dealing with each other's scrutiny We did it so ruthlessly, yet it was so beautifully Wish I could take it all back Swear I would do anything to keep that train on the tracks There's so much pain in my chest, thinking of lessons I learned I watched the house go up in flames and I just let that shit burn Shorty won't let me in (shorty won't let me in), she mental I fucked up again, she 'bout to act up What's that long face for? That's that sad stuff These back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me You broke my heart a million times, but I won't let it happen You got your space and I got mine, but I won't let it happen Iou, iou, these back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me Iou, iou, these back roads don't ride like that road where you rode with me So, where do we go from here? When it all used to be so clear You got me facing the things I fear Has it all just disappeared?

I've seen my fair share of ups and downs I've walked some hard miles on shaky ground But from the place that I am standing now It's clear to see You were right there with me All You've ever been All You ever will be All You ever are Is faithful, faithful At least a million times I've seen it with my own eyes All You've ever been Is faithful, faithful I've had plenty and I've seen drought I've been on fire and I've burned out But from the place that I am standing now It's clear to see You were right there with me, yeah All You've ever been All You ever will be All You ever are Is faithful, faithful At least a million times I've seen it with my own eyes All You've ever been Is faithful, faithful As sure as the sun's coming up every morning I'm sure of the promise my Father is for me His grace, His kindness, His favor keep coming What a faithful, faithful God As sure as the sun's coming up every morning I'm sure of the promise my Father is for me His grace, His kindness, His favor keep coming What a faithful, faithful God What a faithful, faithful God All You've ever been All You ever will be All You ever are Is faithful, faithful At least a million times I've seen it with my own eyes All You've ever been Is faithful, faithful All You've ever been Is faithful, faithful

Just a single drop and I'm giving in I let you hold me again Nothing much has changed but I'm not the same And it kills to think about you There's something delicate, some haunting About our pain and I'm hiding in my cave Growing lonely by the minute and I think it looks like rain So I stay in, I stay awake 'cause I know about what you would never say I know about her and I know she stayed So if you fall in love for a million times And a million more Would you know me if You waded through the tides of a million shores With a million miles to go? Let me unravel in the open In the pull of your water 'til I catch my breath I just need to know if you can find me In the chaos of it all, hmmm I know about what you could never say I know about her and I know she stayed So if you fall in love for a million times And a million more Would you know me if You waded through the tides of a million shores With a million miles to go? Ohh, oooh And you can't change it Can't erase her Could it be different When it takes me to that place where I see you playing Like a tape recording We walk between the lines The matching end still open So if you fall in love for a million times And a million more Would you know me if You waded through the tides of a million shores With a million miles to go? Ohh, ohh

Iいつだっていまだって僕らはちゃんと実を結んで 今だって飛び立ってゆく 今日も陽が昇ると一歩を踏み出す 昨日の自分とは違うはずなのにな どうして気付いてくれないんだろう? 募った不満が心の中で疼く 見たことないものばかりでも 聞いたことないものばかりでも この蒼い眼に写るのは いつだっていまだって遠く向こう走る影 僕だって、ただ待っているわけじゃないから いつだっていまだって僕らはちゃんと実を結んで 今だって飛び立ってゆく 認められたいと地団太踏んでたんだ 言葉にできない悔しさが底にある 強くなりたいと願えば願うほど 空回りしてしまう 強がって強がって、こわいもの知らずだって また笑ってごまかして、本音は言えないまま 嫌になって苛立って、うまくできない自分がいて ダメだって立ち止まってしまう 度胸もないくせに負けず嫌いで、また涙こぼして この果てない不安と葛藤の渦巻きの中 いつの間にか日が暮れてった 雨だって風だって受けながら進んでゆく 僕だってやれるって飛び込んでゆけ いつだっていまだって僕らはちゃんと実を結んで 今だって飛び立った姿が見えるかな 汚れたって破れたって欲しかったものだった いまはここにあるのさ
