Helen Lyrics & Tabs by The Wave Pictures
Helen
guitar chords lyrics
I saw my future
In the fizzing bubbles of an Alka Seltzer
I was wound around you
Like barbed wire around a jail
I was just another male
Who failed to let it go
I was just another boy
Who paled next to the glow of your cheeks
Who turned minutes into weeks
Helen, I wish I could have said that I had your back
I wish I hadn't let you fall through the cracks
I wish I had been there that night at the hotel
I wish I could say that I knew you well
I really didn't know you well
I went down town to a diner
I wish I could say that I knew you well
I really didn't know you well
I went down town to a diner
Sat in a booth order coffee and the lemon pie
My hand was shaking just a little
I had a little twitch in my eye
I was just another guy who failed to let you know
I was just another boy who paled next to the glow of you cheeks
Who turned minutes into weeks
Helen, I wish I could have said that I had your back
I wish I hadn't let you fall through the cracks
I wish I had been there that night at the hotel
I wish I could say that I knew you well
I really didn't know you well
