Nightswimming/Joey

Night swimming
Deserves a quiet night

The photograph on the dashboard
Taken years ago
Turn around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse

Still it's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight

Night swimming

What if I said yes?
What if I'd gone out that night?
What if you turned left
And everything would've turned out alright?

What if I spoke up?
What if I took the keys?
What if I had tried a little harder
Instead of always trying to please?

Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me?
Joey, I'm so sorry

What if I'd said no?
What if we'd never fell in love?
What if we'd gone slow
Or a little be faster and broken-up?

Would I know this hurt?
Would I feel this pain?
Do you know that with all I have left
In my very last breath
I will call your name?

Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me?
Joey, I'm so sorry

Were you sad? Were you scared?
Did you whisper a prayer to be free?
Was it quiet and cold? Was it light or too dark to see?
And did you reach for me?

Joey, I'm so sorry
(You sing)
Joey, I'm so sorry
Joey, I'm so sorry
Joey, I'm so sorry

Oh, can you hear me?
Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me?
(I'm so sorry)
Joey, I'm so
Joey, I'm so sorry
