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."
