It's a Shame

The time has come, there is no second chance

We've been driftin' on an empty, achin' sea

And you were the girl I never knew I wanted

And I was the boy you hoped you'd never see

And it's a shame we ain't lovers

We could've been something so big and grand

Just kissing for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Begging for answers, tryin' to make a stand

Been burnin' up the hours, talkin' to the midnight

Just dreaming of ways I could hold you next to me

But maybe it just wasn't meant all things have a reason

Maybe our hearts were just too careless and free

But it's a shame that we ain't lovers

We could've been something so big and grand

Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Begging for answers, tryin' to make a stand

There was a time when you would have had me

There was a time when I could have had you

But it's too late another path has come and gone again

I'm at the back door with a broken window view, thinking

It's a shame that we ain't lovers

We could've been something so big and grand

Just kissing for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand

I'm tired of writin', but I can't put down my pen

It's too late now to talk or turn back

So just hold on, 'cause baby, here we go again

Headin' the wrong way down that one-way track

And it's a shame that we ain't lovers

We could've been something so big and grand

Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Begging for answers, tryin' to make a stand

It's a shame that we ain't lovers

We could have been something so big and grand

Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand
