We Could Have Used Your Help - Christopher H. Knight

We had only one summer But you weren't mine All I wanted was you to come along As if you were mine The dances the long nights Empty bottle conversations The way you would let go Of any other obligations September breeze enough to blow us apart Away away November means no more than lovers apart Oh we We could have been it Or at least something We could have been it And no, this is no love song for you But I love the things I'm learning Sometimes its the soft darkness I adore And I am a child Days to swim through bold sadness to the shore The tides have been wild And I know I'm not made for staying too long on repeat September breeze enough to blow us apart Away away November means no more than lovers apart Oh we We could have been it Or at least something We could have been it And no this is no love song for you But I love the things I'm learning We had only one summer

Today at work I overheard a name I knew it wasn't yours But it touched me just the same It felt so good To have you in my mind Guess I'm the sentimental kind Oh, I wonder who you became Did you change the world or play the game? We came so close to love back then We could have been You were so brave when I was shy I made you laugh when somethin' made you cry And I don't think we ever said goodbye Now I'll always wonder why Oh, I wonder who you became Did you change the world or play the game? We came so close to love back then We could have been A time or two, I thought about calling But something always gets in the way Maybe I'm afraid you'd really answer What would I say to you? Oh, I wonder who you became Did you change the world or play the game? We came so close to love back then We could have been We could have been

When you say you feel low And good things are hard to see When you pray to find love I know somewhere we could be There's a place where we can go tonight The rhythm will make it right Where everyone is happy And the sun will shine all night We could have a good time Let everybody sing Why don't you let yourself slip Outta control, we could have a good time Let everybody sing Get your feet up on the floor Ta, tatalata tatalata tatatalata So when the world feels dark And friends seem hard to find You know how to light a spark Just to let you worries unwind When you're down there's just one way to go Let us ascend tonight Everyone could be so happy And the sun will shine all night We could have a good time Let everybody sing Why don't you let yourself slip Outta control, we could have a good time Let everybody sing Get your feet up on the floor Ta, tatalata tatalata tatatalata Ta, tatalata tatalata talata When you're down there's just one way to go Let us ascend tonight Everyone could be so happy And the sun will shine all night We could have a good time Let everybody sing Why don't you let yourself slip Outta control, we could have a good time Let everybody sing Get your feet up on the floor Ta, tatalata tatalata tatatalata Ta, tatalata tatalata talata

Let's take a chance and don't let go 'Cause once we do it won't be there no more, hmm Yeah, we could have it all Stay up late and look at stars They say life's better if you look through the dark Yeah, we could have it all Let's take a trip to Paris and Rome We'll find a heaven and we'll call it home Yeah, we could have it all Scream out loud and go through hell Better with you than with anyone else Yeah, we could have it all
