[Music]

[Music]

I've been tracking time since the day

and everybody hoping that you got other

things that you wanted I'm not surprised

you've moved on yet got it I'm still

here wondering if you've been I miss

baby what we had in the hearts what's

the ball is the ocean call but I can't

have a baby

[Music]

I guess you never think about things

like I do like how we used to fight then

we cry get out and do now we've got it

right so come home I'll miss you baby

[Music]

on

[Music]

I don't know

[Music]

[Music]
