The time has come, there is no second chance

We?ve been drifting on an empty aching sea

You were the girl I never knew I wanted

I was the boy you hoped you?d never see

And it?s a shame that we ain?t lovers

We could have been somethin? so big and grand

Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand

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

Just dreamin? 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 to careless and free

And it?s a shame that we ain?t lovers

We could have been somethin? so big and grand

Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand

There was a time, when you would have had me

There was a time 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 thinkin?

And it?s a shame that we ain?t lovers

We could have been somethin? so big and grand

Just kissin? 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 have been somethin? so big and grand

Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia

Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand
