I Loved Annie First Songtext

von Tony Hightower & The Trapped Tigers

Last night I thought of you on the subway
I thought of you as the rain soaked my feet
I thought of you as I walked alone
Down the unmowed road
I thought things I don't think I should repeat.

Their living rooms glowed blue
And it made me think of you
I thought about why you weren't here with me
But had I asked if you would come home with me,
Would you have said yes, or would you have said no?
Better you be there than I scare you away
That was the decision I made
Last night, standing outside your mother's house
Your cold breath glowed in the streetlight

As to, Should I Take You Home?
An opportunity might have been blown
Last night I remember forcing my door open with my shoulder
With strength I never even knew I had
And I thought:
Would I be as strong if you had come along?
And would I have wanted inside so bad?
But had I asked if you would come home with me,
Would you have said yes, or would you have said no?
Better you be there than I scare you away
That was the decision I made, Last Night.
I've been told nothing in this world is certain
But that
