text: After school, walking home
  Fresh dirt under my fingernails
  And I can smell hot asphalt
  Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
  And I cannot remember
  What life was like through photographs
  Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past
  And sometimes its a sad song
  But I, cannot forget
  Refuse to regret
  So glad I met you and
  Take my breath away
  Make everyday
  Worth all of the pain that I have gone through
  And mama, Ive been crying
  Cause things aint how they used to be
  She said the battles almost won
  And were only several miles from the sun
  Now, moving on, down my street
  I see people I wont ever meet
  Think of her, take a breath
  Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps
  And sometimes its a sad song
  But I, cannot forget
  Refuse to regret
  So glad I met you and
  Take my breath away
  Make everyday
  Worth all of the pain that I have gone through
  And mama, Ive been crying
  Cause things aint how they used to be
  She said the battles almost won
  And were only several miles from the sun
  The rhythm of her conversation
  The perfection of her creation
  The sex she slipped into my coffee
  The way she felt when she first saw me
  Hate to love and love to hate her
  Like a broken record player
  Back and forth and here and gone
  And on and on and on and on
  I cannot forget
  Refuse to regret
  So glad I met you and
  Take my breath away
  Make everyday
  Worth all of the pain that I have gone through
  And mama, Ive been crying
  Cause things aint how they used to be
  She said the battles almost won
  And were only several miles
  She said the battles almost won
  And were only several miles from the sun
  Yeah, oh oh, yeah
  Several miles from the sun
