Blue Rodeo - Already Gone lyrics

Monday morning waking up still
Too numb to think
Another night just staring at the wall
Last night's conversation knocked me
Off my feet i guess today I fall
I wish that we could find a
Way to look the other way
Be careful of the things we do
And watch the things we say
And maybe then we'd get somewhere
We've never been before
Oh, what's the use of fighting when
You know you've lost the war?
Walk the streets of New Orleans
Shirt soaked to my skin
Through the mess of yesterday's parade
A thousand times a day
I think of calling you again
Come to my senses instead

And everytime we walk away we
Lose a little time
Pretending to each other now
That everything is fine
I know whatever lies I use
To get myself to sleep
I wake up to the promises
I know we couldn't keep
Say you don't see what's wrong
Every night lasts too long
So long I know, I do you're already gone ooh

I wonder should I get up
I would but what's the point?
Oh, when something's gone it's gone for good
Maybe I could look away back to
Where we used to be
One more time, I wish I could
Oh, nevermind the reasons
That tore us all apart
We've both done things I know we can't defend
What's the use in tracing it
All back to the start?
There's something missing in the air
I wish that we could find a
Way to look the other way
Be careful of the things we
Do and everything we say
And maybe then we'd get somewhere
We've never been before
Oh, what's the use of fighting when
You know you've lost the war

Say you don't see what's wrong
Every night lasts too long
So long I know, I do you're already gone
Oh, I know, I do you're already gone
O-o-o oh
