I wish my heart would lie
My mind does all the time
I didn't know I was alive
Until you left and I died
With x's on my eyes
With x's on my eyes
My baby watches the stars like they are telling her jokes
I stand up waving my heart thinking that I might explode
When my head is in your hands again
But it feels like the center of the earth
Then why don't I give up if it just costs too much
All I got is an unbearable song about the memory of what was once us
Winona
Is there a trade
A bargain I can make
To keep you one more day
We'll flee the boredom and decay
But she said love can't just be an escape, cause then it's not the real thing
So I sit back and watch you go off down the road
But I've been sober lately so I don't get the joke
How does the ending go, and when are you coming home
Then why don't I give up if it just costs too much
All I got is an unbearable song about the memory of what was once us
What was once us
