make it all ok

R.e.m.

You threw away the ballast and you rowed your boat ashore
Didn t you, now? Didn t you?
You made your ultimatum too big to ignore
Didn t you, now? Didn t you?

So you worked out your excuses,
turned away and shut the door.
The world s too vast for us now,
and you wanted to explore

It s a long, long long road
And I don t know which way to go
If you offered me your hand again I d have to walk away.

When I saw you at the street fair, you called out my name
Didn t you, now? Didn t you?
You said we could start over, try and make it all okay.
Didn t you, now? Didn t you?

So our past has been rewritten
and you threw away the pen.
You d said that I was useless,
but now you ll take me in again

Well Jesus loves me fine.
And your words fall flat this time.

Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say,
We don t have a prayer between us.

Didn t you believe that I have finally turned away?
Didn t you, now? Didn t you?
Anything to hold onto to help me through my day.
Didn t you, now? Didn t you?

Jesus loves me fine.
But his words fall flat this time.

It s a long, long long road
And I don t know which way to go
If you offered me your world, did you think I d really stay?
If you offered me the heavens, I would have to turn away.
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say,
We don t have a prayer between us.
Didn t you, now? Didn t you, now?
Didn t you?
