The time has come, there is no second chance
Weve been drifting on an empty aching sea
You were the girl I never knew I wanted
I was the boy you hoped youd never see
And its a shame that we aint lovers
We could have been somethin so big and grand
Just kissin for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin for answers, tryin to make a stand
Been burnin up the hours, talkin to the midnight
Just dreamin of ways I could hold you next to me
But maybe it just wasnt meant, all things have a reason
Maybe our hearts were just to careless and free
And its a shame that we aint lovers
We could have been somethin so big and grand
Just kissin for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin for answers, tryin to make a stand
There was a time, when you would have had me
There was a time I could have had you
But its too late, another path has come and gone again
I'm at the back door with a broken window view thinkin
And its a shame that we aint lovers
We could have been somethin so big and grand
Just kissin for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin for answers, tryin to make a stand
I'm tired of writin but I cant put down my pen
Its too late now to talk or turn back
So just hold on, cause baby, here we go again
Headin the wrong way down that one way track
And its a shame that we aint lovers
We could have been somethin so big and grand
Just kissin for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin for answers, tryin to make a stand
