about

This Windows and Walls (1994) track sounds eerily like a leftover from Jim Croce. The narrator is hoping against hope that his lover might change her mind. After all, she hasn't left yet, has she? He might be right, who knows? The song only lasts so long, but the story continues somewhere.

lyrics

If you feel that you must go
Then how can I slow you down?
If the answer must be no
How can I make you come around?
Even though you're sitting with me
It's like you're already gone
You're on the highway zipping through Dallas
And the words I say too far away
If you feel that you must go
Then I'm just wasting both our times
I didn't really want to know
But now I know there's no denying
I might as well just kiss you goodbye
And wish you good luck and so and so
And you might as well get on the road
If you must go

If there's nothing to decide
Then what am I supposed to do?
Yes it's true, you never lied
That's what I love so much about you
But I wish I had another chance
Before you start your life again
And if you don't want to hear this
Then why's your car still in our yard?
If there's nothing to decide
Why should I even state my case?
All I can say is that I tried
And if I failed there's no disgrace
I might as well just kiss you goodbye
And wish you good luck and so and so
And you might as well get on the road
If you must go

If you really go tonight
I hope you don't forget my name
I hope you call, I hope you write
I know you won't, cuz you're still the same
I might as well just kiss you goodbye
And wish you good luck and so and so
And you might as well get on the road
If you must go
