Been travelling down this road so long
I'm starting to wonder where I've gone
The turns that were taken, decisions never made
All wrapped up in the memories of yesterday

There's no turning back the hands of time
No regrets about your broken heart and mine
Because you know we couldn't do it differently
So rest assured what should have been has been

Those old places, promises and lies
Old lovers, distant friends in time
Should have or shouldn't have
Maybe, if and why
It's hard to know the answers to this
Crazy beautiful life

The neon lights that now shine too bright
Used to hold a meaning on a long and lonely night
Concrete trees were paradise holding up the sky
Making simple sense when nothing else seemed right

Those old places promises and lies
Old lovers, distant friends in time
Should have or shouldn't have
Maybe, if and why
It's hard to know the answers to this
Crazy beautiful life

Technicolor painted paper dreams
Secrets and surprises still to see
The words we left unspoken
Now whisper in the breeze
Lost but not forgotten, the memories

Old places, promises and lies
Old lovers, distant friends in time
Should have or shouldn't have
Maybe, if and why
It's hard to know the answers to this
Crazy beautiful life
