Jewelry Store lyrics

Funny how the years can just slip by us
We swore to keep in touch
We were lovers, we were friends
And we said that we'd let no distance come between us
And the seeds of dreams we planted
Well, we'd keep them 'til the end of forever

But you've given up your music for a jewelry store
I'm workin' in a bar outside of Baltimore
Neither of us found what we were lookin' for
While we tried to catch tomorrow, today just slipped away

We said we'd never let the world take us
And put us in some place where we didn't want to be
And we swore we'd never bend, they couldn't make us
'Cause together, we had strength
With our youth, we held the key that could free us

But you've given up your music for a jewelry store
I'm workin' in a bar outside of Baltimore
Neither of us found what we were lookin' for
While we tried to catch tomorrow, today just slipped away

Yes, you've given up your music for a jewelry store
You never play your old piano anymore
I think of you so much when I sweep up the floor
And the hopes we shared together and the lives we never lived
The lives we never lived
