You long You're longing for the past First time went by too fast Well you're wrong You're wrong about those times
 
You always take what's left behind You never seem to mind You always take what's left behind But you're never mine
 
Still got the clothes, still got the hair Got the records Could it all be for nothing Couldn't be, no way
 
You're home You're waiting on the line You think you're made of time Well he's gone He's never coming back Except to hit the sack
 
You always take what's left behind You never seem to mind You always take what's left behind But you're never mine
 
He doesn't want her He doesn't mean it No, how could he? After what he said last night Couldn't be, no way
 
You're on You're always on your guard You always try too hard I knock, you never let me in I won't be back again
 
You always take what's left behind You never seem to mind You always take what's left behind But you're never mine
