Lyrics Jimmy Barnes – Attention
Text:
We don’t seem to talk much anymore
It’s getting to hard to egnore
Silence taken place of the words before
If I’d only payed attention
Even with my good intentions
And somehow I still let you fall
Maybe now you’ll have to face the truth
Well the writings there for the world to see
We could be strangers starting out a new
If you’d only payed attention
Instead of waitin’ for the past
We had it all in our posetion
Still we didn’t make it last
Maybe we could wash it all away
Just like foot prints in the sand
If we could only start it all again
Find a way to understand
Could have been with me baby
If we’d only paid attention
There was truth between the lies
We were trying to find perfection
Instead of leaving love behind
Nothings gonna last for ever
Let’s just never start
We couldn’t save too stormy weather
Stealing time to touch the sun
And if we’d only payed attention
If we’d only payed attention
If only
If only only only
If we only payed attention
Sometimes I wonder what would happen
If we payed attention
