Lyrics
NOTHIN? LEFT TO SAY
I hear your voice now out in the hall
And I open up there?s no one at all
Catch a glimpse of your smile in the back of my mind
As I close the door on all we left behind
CHORUS: And there?s NOTHIN? LEFT TO SAY
?cause baby that was yesterday
I see you walkin? right by the house
In your faded jeans and your white cotton blouse
And I start to holler out but I stop instead
There?s no point in talkin? when it?s all been said
CHORUS And there?s NOTHIN? LEFT TO SAY
?cause baby that was yesterday
BRIDGE: If I could turn back these hands of time
Baby I?d turn this life around I?d turn it right on dime
I?d go straight to that river that we never crossed
And I?d build a bridge to everything we lost
These sheets of ice on this empty bed
Got me thinkin? twice of all the things we said
I can almost feel you breathin? baby here close to me
Guess I?ve only known what love is supposed to be
CHORUS And there?s NOTHIN? LEFT TO SAY
?cause baby that was yesterday ( repeat twice )
