Can't get it back can't get it back
All you lack stares you in the face
Can't get it back I lost all the star maps
And there was too much static in this place
Send up a prayer rarefied air
Regret is a friend you make when you are young
Any side of anywhere one way ticket to nowhere
It all seemed so over before it had begun
Oh could I start with a brand new heart?
The one I wrecked was never gonna last
Is that too much to ask?
God bless Job for waiting it out
When everything he had was stripped
When faith's all gone and all my good intentions were good and wrong
But a thundercloud voice might do the trick
And all those summer sunsets
And autumn colors and smells
And those proud Easter trumpets
And those Christmas bells
If I could gather every nuance
The loose threads and the bits
I'd paint them on your lips girl
And drown in the kiss
Oh could we start with some brand new hearts?
Since the ones we wrecked were never gonna last
Is that too much to ask?
