Lyrics
0:14Ever since I was a small boy
0:19No one else compared to you, no way
0:25I always thought heroes stay close
0:32Whenever troubled times arose
0:40I didn't know
0:46Ain't always how it goes
0:51Every single word you told me
0:57I believed without a question, always
1:03To save all of us, you told us both to trust
1:09But now I know you only saved yourself
1:17Did you think I'd never know?
1:23Never wise up as I grow
1:56And you could store an ocean in the holes
2:00In any of the explanations that you gave
2:07And while you still had time, you had a chance
2:12But you decided to take all of your sorrys to the grave
2:19Did you think I'd never know?
2:25Never wise up as I grow
2:31Did you hope I'd never doubt?
2:38Never wonder, work it out?
4:04You were runnin' for cover
4:06Doin' like any other
4:09Fallin' out with a lover
4:12You didn't know that I'd suffer
4:15What a thing to discover
4:18There was time to recover
4:21Move on with each other
4:24Just a boy and a father
4:27What I'd give for another
4:30Everything that I have
4:32Couldn't need this for long
4:35Never speak of the time
4:38That you left us alone
4:41Me and Steve on our own
4:44I wanna tell you 'bout the time
4:47I wanna tell you 'bout my life
4:50Wanna play you all my songs
4:52Learn the words, sing along
5:09(This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time
5:12(I know) I was in Abbey Road
5:15Or the time that I had
5:19Mick Jagger on the phone
5:21I thought of you when we spoke
5:24Wanna tell you 'bout the time
5:27Wanna tell you 'bout my life
5:30Wanna play you all my songs
5:33Hear your voice sing along
5:36I wanna say it's all right
5:39You're just a man after all
5:42And I know you have demons
5:44I got some of my own
5:47Think you passed them along
5:50Wanna tell you 'bout the time
5:53Wanna tell you 'bout my life
5:56Wanna play you all my songs
5:59And hear your voice sing along
