1000 Years (Live)

about

This song is about a couple meeting up after a long time apart reminiscing and having possible regrets about not taking their relationship further when they had the chance.

lyrics

I got your message,
Seems like you’re lonely,
Wanna meet up and roll back the days?
How ‘bout the pool hall where you used to play?
We could kick back and have us some beers
It's been a long time without you
Man, it seems like a 1000 years

So how you doin?
A little messed up
But you still got that spark in your eyes
Been through some dark times baby
Since we both said our last goodbyes

Will you forgive me, for never callin’?
I didn’t exactly beat a path to your door.
Let’s put the past way behind us
Cause we’re back here together once more

I heard you lived with some wild kinda lady
Is she still with you?
No, it all proved too crazy a show
Wanna tell me some more?
Believe me you don’t want to know
You don’t wanna know

It’s sure been something,
Must do it again babe
Now let me hold you then be on your way
Jump in a taxi to wherever
‘fore I break down and beg you to stay

Do you regret us never taking it further?
Don’t even go there
When I think what we might have become
Another time, another beer
I’ll tell you what we should have done
What we should have done.

So now I’m stuck here
On the corner
Where we kissed and you brought me to tears
Well, you’ve been gone for 30 seconds
But it feels like a thousand years.

Aah, it’s sure been something,
Must do it again babe
Now let me hold and then be on your way
Jump in a taxi to wherever
‘fore I break down and beg you to stay

So, now I’m stuck here
On the corner
Where we kissed and you brought me to tears
With your voice ringing out in my ears
Back in a place where we both had no fears
Well, you’ve been gone for 30 seconds
But it feels like a thousand years.
A thousand years
A thousand years
