lyrics

RUSTED PADLOCK

So who am I?
We've never met
You seem to know me
But I confess
You've got it wrong
In your assessment
I'm not the one
You second guessed

You were the reason I went silent
We had it made but still I burnt the bridge
You were the only one I dreamed of
I was a man who couldn't find his feet

That's what you
Get if you lose
That's OK
You got a right to choose

I was thinking
You and me could be together
Like a rusted padlock
Hanging in the breeze
But infinity reached the end
Begin again

You were the laughter - I was joking
You were the hope and I was hopeless
You were the only one in my life
You got away and that's why I'm still

Thinking you and me
Could be together
Like a rusted padlock
Hanging in the breeze
But infinity reached the end

I was thinking you and me
Would stay together one day
Like a rusted padlock
Hanging on a gate
Begin again

There was a day
Before we met
The sky ablaze
I can't forget
I took the call
But never spoke
I got away
And that's why I'm still

Thinking you and me
Could be together
Like a rusted padlock
Hoping for a change
But the weather closed in again

Thinking you and me
Could be together
Like a rusted padlock
Hoping for a change but
It stays the same

I was thinking you and me
Would stay together one day
Like a rusted padlock
Hanging on a gate

That's what you
Get if you lose
It's OK
I've got a point to prove
