Joey lyrics
Songwriters: Anderson, Bill; Bush, Kristian; Nettles, Jennifer;

What if I said yes?
What if I'd gone out that night?
What if you turned left
Everything would've turned out alright?

What if I spoke up?
What if I took the keys?
What if I had tried a little harder
Instead of always trying to please?

Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me?
Joey, I'm so sorry

What if I'd said no?
What if we'd never fell in love?
What if we'd gone slow
Or a little be faster and broken up?

Would I know this hurt?
Would I feel this pain?
Do you know that with all I have left
In my very last breath I will call your name?

Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me?
Joey, I'm so sorry

Were you sad? Were you scared?
Did you whisper a prayer to be free?
Was it quiet and cold? Was it light or too dark to see?
And did you reach for me?

Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me?
Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me?

Joey, I'm so
Joey, I'm so sorry

Joey wanted to swim at night with his girlfriend on a hot summer night after having a few.She chose not to go, and now she regrets her decision and wonders if it might made a difference in his death.

why is the song called nightswimming joey it dont say anything about swimmin

we think Joey died because she broke up with him, he sped off, drove too fast, and now she's blaming herself.

Joey is the love of her life that she lost and regrets not taking the car keys away from him that night

It is about a girl's regret that she didn't take her boy friends keys when he left drunk in his car. She wants him to know she is sorry but it is too late.

It's about a drunk driving accident. That's why she shoulda took the keys.

Jenn 09/01/09,14:53
I think it has something to do with a car accident..because she said she wishes she would have been there, took the keys, and asked if it was painful, and shes sad cuz it seems they were in love..lost
