lyrics

you say you wanna take a break
but I was loving you for loving’s sake

Waking up late used to be right on time
cup of coffee and a cigarette, sign on the dotted line
the morning light is as warm as you were soft
but now the rays that come my way seem to get a little lost

you say you wanna take a break
things got too dang crowded, there’s so much at stake
but now I hope this is just a mistake
I was loving you for loving’s sake

The day is clear, just nowhere I gotta be
wish I wanted to play the guitar, wish I wanted to read
I’m alone, it just don’t feel that way
memories of a distant life are always on display

you say you wanna take a break
things got too damn crowded, there’s so much at stake
but now I hope this is just a mistake
I was loving you for loving’s sake

baby you’re fast, and I can be so slow
you wrote the book, got your own TV show
just can’t forget that the morning light fades away
heartbreak and sunlight make for a perfect day

you say you wanna take a break
things got too damn crowded, there’s so much at stake
but now I hope this is just a mistake
I was loving you for loving’s sake
