Give Me a Reason (with Livingston Taylor)

Six years gone by like the turn of a page
I hear your voice
And the years seem like days

If it’s all over now
Why can’t you meet me on the other side?
If it’s all over now
Then what’s that look in your eye?

You say you’ve seen my face in your dreams
You tell me you’re not half as sweet as you seem

If it’s all over now
Why can’t I turn my back and walk away?
If it’s all over now
Why is there so much left to say?

Give me a reason why we never tried
Give me a reason – maybe I’ll be satisfied
But give me a reason
Or I just can’t say goodbye

Maybe I’m kidding myself
Maybe I’m hurting myself
Maybe I’d better let go
Maybe it’s better unsaid
But I just want you to know

I know you’re afraid
Of everything that you feel
You won’t make your move
Until you’re sure that it’s real – it’s real

If it’s all over now
Why can’t we give it up and let it slide?
If it’s all over now
Why’s there so much left to hide?

Give me a reason why we never tried
Give me a reason – maybe I’ll be satisfied
But give me a reason
Or I just can’t say goodbye

Six years gone by like the turn of a page
