In Our Lifetime (BBC Session - Simon Mayo 13/4/99) - Texas

There are things

I can't tell you

I love you too much to say

I stand undressed

But I'm not naked

You look at me and who I am

Understand that it is hard to tell you

That I've given all I have to give

And I can understand your feelings

But then everybody has a life to live

Once in a lifetime

You have seen what I've seen

You will always swim for shore

Once in my lifetime

I'll never be in between

Some things you just can't ignore

Now reach out

You can touch me

I'll let you have my life to share

Years, the days

And the minutes

Yea time has such a puzzling grace

Understand that it is hard to tell you

That I've given all I have to give

And I can understand your feelings

But then everybody has a life to live

Once in a lifetime

You have seen what I've seen

You will always swim for shore

Once in my lifetime

I'll never be in between

Some things you just can't ignore

Once in a lifetime

You have seen what I've seen

You will always swim for shore

Once in my lifetime

I'll never be in between

Some things you just can't ignore

I just need to have your love

I just can't say no

It's a gift from way above

I just can't say no

It's the one big difference

If there's one thing I can have

I just can't say no

I just can't say no

Hey, hey, hey

Once in a lifetime

You have seen what I've seen

You will always swim for shore

Once in my lifetime

I'll never be in between

Some things you just can't ignore

Once in a lifetime

You have seen what I've seen

You will always swim for shore

Once in my lifetime

I'll never be in between

Some things you just can't ignore

Once in a lifetime

You have seen what I've seen

You will always swim for shore

Once in my lifetime

I'll never be in between

Some things you just can't ignore
