I was wrong
I should have come along
Those were lazy, hasty days

You were strong
you were the singing of the song
but I stayed, you walked away

I sat down in the summer evening
and waited for the moment to arise
It's easier to handle all your friends than to keep just one love alive

The gras was wet
empty cans and cigarettes
we kept drinking, sinking deep

You were gone
twice as distant as the sun
I kept thinking I should sleep

But one thing that I learned from you is how to slowly talk away the night
how come it's easier to handle all your friends than to keep just one love alive

Oh, how come we can't afford the price
Oh, how come we lose the ones we like

It's a fact
I'll never get you back
Still the summer haunts your name

I was wrong
I should have come along
But I stumbled there and stayed

So once again I've done it and I wonder:
Will I ever get it right
When it's much easier to handle all your friends than to keep just one love alive
It's easier to handle all your friends than to keep just one love alive
