The Things I Should've Said

so many times when i'm leaving, i think of
things i should've said
but i'm worried, always hurried, lord knows
i'm distracted
but on the road with so much time and
your pretty face to fill my mind
words start rolling round my head
i feel the heat begin to rise, keeping all
these thoughts inside
and all the things i should've said

like, where were you last night, my friend?
and how about the night before?
don't you think i don't know
you been slipping out that ol' back door
these are the things i should've said

i'd much prefer to say "i love you"
write our names across the sky
plant a kiss on your lush lips, swear i'm yours
'til the day i die
i remember not long ago, you'd beg and
plead me not to go
you'd be hanging round my leg
but now you're hanging round the bars and
i'm learning who you really are
and all the things i should've said

like, where were you last night. . .

can't you take a little distance?
can't you take an empty bed?
well, you can take a walk
'cuz i'm sick and tired of all this talk
about the things i should've said
too many things i should've said. . .
