I saw Billy Rowe at the Stones last show,
he looked like he’d just been gassed.
He said Sheila’s gone, they couldn’t get along,
nothing in common but the past,
and it went through my mind
to tell him we’re fine,
but I was feeling something different inside,
the truth keeps changing and the sky gets
deeper, then our eyes are open wide.

I wanna start over, I wanna all start over,
right here in the present time,
not living in the past like a pantomime,
why pretend? It’s not like it was back then.

I saw Sue Hale, she said Gary’s back in jail,
for dealin just a little bit strong.
It was always just fun till he had to get a gun,
she doesn’t know if she can wait that long,

And it went through my mind
to tell her we’re fine
but I was feelin something different inside,
the truth keeps changing and the sky gets
deeper, then our eyes are open wide.

I wanna start over, I wanna start over,
right here in the present time,
not living in the past like a pantomime,
why pretend? It’s not like it was back then.

She said I’m easy in this light, I said I don’t
feel right, then I left your friend Karen at the bar.
When I took off my coat, I found your note
saying you’d be driving all night with the car,
And it went through my mind
to just say “that’s fine”
but I was feeling something different inside,
the truth keeps changing and the sky gets
deeper, then our eyes are open wide.

I wanna start over, I wanna start all over,
right here in the present time,
not living in the past like a pantomime,
why pretend? It’s not like it was back then.
