And had I had known that it might have been me
I might have returned a letter or three
From here until 10
And I swear that we'd be better fair ever friends
Or gave you a call from the sanctuary
What is that there in your brown paper box
And had I had known that it might have been me
I can see that you kept all the memories we'd lost
For the cracks in these walls tell time for a fee, oh yeah
If I knew I'd have thought about knowing
And who would believe what a date you would be
I'd open the door if I met you again
And in between now and the last time we met
I might have returned a letter or three yeah
From here until 10 miles from nowhere
Or gave you a call from the sanctuary
To the pressure of past undertakings
And I'd sworn it was you who was destined and gone
