The Last 3 Years

Joe Wilson


My feet meet city streets 
and the wind can sting my cheeks 
all it wants 
i have every intention of spending 
my christmas money 
all in one nite if that's what it takes 
to start off a year with no mistakes 
with no mistakes 

if i could relive 
the last three years 
i would have spent more time 
kissing all the places i've missed 
i've missed... 
and doubling up on 
those places i've already kissed 
and doubling up on 
the places i've already... 

tonite i walked right next to you 
just like the way that we used to 
but my hands 
never left my pockets 
we started with dinner 
and talked until our mouths went dry 
it's been months 
since i've seen you like this 
and even longer since 
our last kiss 

but tonite 
it's not about that 
it's about you and me 
and the city streets 
so we chart our course 
to the health food store 
an attempt 
to see you more 

i follow you up and down the aisles 
hoping you'll turn to me 
with a smile 
and greet my lips 
with a goodnite kiss 

if i could relive 
the last three years 
i would have spent more time 
kissing all the places i've missed 
i've missed... 
and doubling up on 
those places i've already kissed 
and doubling up on 
the places i've already kissed 
i've already kissed 
i've already kissed 
i've already kissed 
i've already kissed 
i've already kissed 
i've already kissed 
i've already kissed 

i stare at you 
without you knowing 
but deep inside 
i hope it's showing
