Lyrics

Verse 1

Late at night
She's in and out of doorways, downtown
Awake at 3 am and waiting for a taker to run her down
But this ain't her life or they way that movies make the end OK
Cause in this place she's free as a bird but laughings something overrated, So overrated
She just wants a little space and time to gain the self respect to heal her Help her through the night

Chorus

Had a choice when she was young, she let it slide
should have sold the world her smile, she let it slide
could have turned that water in to wine again
Make a date in time to chase her past away

Verse 2

Riding on a bus a train or flying to get away
Picking cherries from a tree in Spain, that simple life would make her smile
As she dreams those dreams a new moon springs to life to light her way
But she keeps the door closed tightly as she washes those thoughts away, her thoughts away
She just wants a little space and time to gain the self respect to heal her
and help her through the night

Chorus

Had a choice when she was young, she let it slide
Should have sold the world her smile, she let it slide
Could have turned that water in to wine again
Make a date in time to chase her past away

Late at night
And waiting for her ship to cruise way
For the coast of Acapulco sails her heart to Mexico

Chorus

Had a choice when she was young, she let it slide
Should have sold the world her smile, she let it slide
Could have turned that water in in to wine again
Make a date in time and chase her past away
In a boat and by the bay, she'll spend her day
Writing stories in the sun a dreaming when
Better days are just a way of skipping time
Had a choice when she was young, she let it slide
