[Verse 1]
The shaking in my hands, will it ever quit?
I'm near the door, I just have to open it
Will you recognize my face
When you see me in the light?
If you feel out of place
Maybe this could make it right
[Chorus]
I could wear the dress you used to know
When my innocence was not for show
If I could punch a hole through time
I'd put back every star
I've lost the heart to shine because I let you go
[Verse 2]
Telephones have a way of changing lives
When I heard your voice, I sat there paralyzed
Then a picture gripped my mind
The tears could not erase
What tonight will find
I don't know, but just in case
[Chorus]
I could wear the dress you used to know
When my innocence was not for show
If I could punch a hole through time
I'd put back every star
I've lost the heart to shine because I let you go
[Bridge]
And now you're just on the other side
And I'm so scared, I wanna run and hide
I don't know what I will say to you
But darling, I know something that will give you a clue
[Chorus]
I could wear the dress you used to know
When my innocence was not for show
If I could punch a hole through time
I'd put back every star
I've lost the heart to shine because I let you go
[Outro]
I could wear the dress you used to know
I could wear the dress you used to know
I could wear the dress you used to know
I could wear the dress you used to know
