Headlights lyrics

I nearly thought that maybe she

Could be the one to set me free.

I went and fell again -

There`s just something about her, I guess.



I wonder, did she know?

I wonder, did it show?

And now she`s gone again,

Seems we`re not meant to be friends.

And now she`s gone again.

And now she`s gone again.



Watching headlights far away,



Aching at the close of the day,

Walking and wishing she

Were sharing the evening with me.



And I recall silently not sleeping.

And I recall her wet hair in the morning.

And I recall the distance I was keeping.

And I recall a birthday kiss she gave me,

Two journeys to her flat when it was just me,

And, in her car, to the radio her singing.

I recall the attention I was paying.



I wanted friendship, wanted closeness -

Around her I was hopeless.

I`d catch myself and feel a fool -

It`s such a different world in which she moves.



I wonder, did she know?

I wonder, did it show?

I wonder, did it show?

And now she`s gone again,

Seems we`re not meant to be friends,

And memories like these, they`re what I have left -

Memories that, stupidly, I never will forget.

Memories like these: a birthday card somewhere;

I could tell she was awake,

She wanted, too, to break the silence -

If we`d have talked into the night,

Would that have made a difference?
