Tonite It Shows Lyrics

Into a dream, i took a turn, an' promised t' return

the way we were, the way we met, the way i lit yr cigarette

the way it trailed, into a stream, an' lay down between...

You had t' choose, a side t' love, an' divide yerself in two

the way you were, long before, you were a walkin' civil war

But you forget, where the road goes, an' tonite it shows...

Into yr soul, i tried t' climb, but found the hole t' high

For me t' leave, the way i'd learned, an' found i couldn't turn

the way the trees, an' fallin' rain, remind me in a way...

the way you were, the day we met, the way i lit your cigarette

the way it changed, into a strange, cole porter phrase

But you forget, how the song goes, an' tonite it shows...

i personally love this so...it flows, and the way things are described makes it different from other songs. Now not the best lyrics but its a great song.

those are my favourite lyrics. i think this song is about when u meet someone and u think they're right for you, but as time goes on u find its not gona work coz u dont understand each other. specifically i dont think the guy understands the girl, who is having her own problems - she's a walking civil war!
