Caught in the air over Dell River Square
The breath of the gods in the mist
She comes dancing up to me and movin’ on
This man got kissed

Glued to the phone and a long way from home
The next thing I know she’s not there
Life keeps on reminding me of might-have-beens
And that’s not fair

All right, now you’re talkin’ to me
All right, you’re tellin’ me just what I need

I never knew a heart could fake it
And never even try
I never knew a lie could break it
Such a sorry guy
I never knew a heart could wake up ...

Time marches on hasn’t done me much harm
Me and my baby are fine
I’m tryin’ to land just like I planned
Then somebody calls, I’ve got you on the line

I’m takin’ a shot at the old days
The times that I tried to forget
Hearts on fire, boy for hire hotel pool
We’re soaking wet

All right, you’re finally changing my mind
All right, discretely robbing me blind

I never knew my heart was dreaming
I never heard the bell
I never knew a heart could scheme on
You played me oh so well
And all the time my head was screamin’
My heart just couldn't tell...

All right, now you’re talkin’ to me
All right, you’re givin’ me just what I need

I never knew a heart could speak out
And look you in the eye
I never knew a heart could freak out
And learn to say good-bye
I never knew until you showed me
A heart that doesn’t lie
I never knew until you taught me
The heart can never die ...
