Amy Campbell - independent Canadian folk music - lyrics
Everybody
It was way too warm for October.
But you didn't hear us complain that the summer was holding on.
The day was half gone when we finally struck out North.
But I knew you were never gonna be on time.
Truth was back then I didn't really mind.
You showed me all your favorite places.
And everybody caught on to those smiles.
And the whole wide world was a blue sky in between us.
And we dropped a little sorrow with every mile.
Halfway between your house and me,
We ate pie in a shitty little diner when we circled back on the 103.
Everybody in that place could hear us laughing.
And everybody in that place just let us be.
Everybody... could see the way you loved me... except me.
We got back to the city, my block had no electricity.
You said "if you want, just tonight, you could stay with me."
The trouble with you and me is we never knew where to stop.
Cause we had the whole wide world between us and now it's not.
Everybody... could see the way I loved you... except me.
Now it's way too cold here for March.
And all I do is complain how the winter is holding on.
I miss that feeling, I was yours and you were mine.
But you and I have such different ideas 'bout the passing of time.
Don't ask. Don't tell. It will all be fine.
Everybody... could see that we were falling... except us.
And the whole wide world was a blue sky in between us.
And the whole wide world was the blue sky in your eyes.
And the whole wide world was a blue sky in between us.
And the whole wide world was your arm on my shoulder while you drive.
The whole wide world...
The whole wide world...
We had the whole wide world between us and now it's not.
