she was pressed up
tried to talk up
every line about her life
I tried listening
i tried wishing
but no stars were out tonight
cross talked
and out I walked away

just this once,
i'd love to love
i'd love to love
her

the road was hollow
when I got up
enough nerve to turn around
with a fellow
who didn't follow
my eyes across the ground
cross talked
crossed out goodbye

just this once
I'd love to love
I'd love to love
I'd love to tell her
I haven't felt too much
but I've seen enough
I've seen enough
and I know I'd be forgotten
but we could try,
just this once
