Lyrics
i've asked you this a million times
i've given you myself
please be gentle
confused as i am by your contradicting signs
i know perceptions hinder
potential
there comes a time in life for this boy
to stop and admit that its over
and done with
the game is the same, she's not out to destroy
me, an unfortunate side effect
of her having fun with
life.
no one has it easy
especially not you
i'll tell you you don't need me
on your own you made it through
i knew love and i think i still do
a subjective journey that ends with you
its simply a matter of whats real to me
as i question the latter and its clear to see
that each day brings me another step closer
and she realizes that nobody knows her
like i do, i'm lied to,
i know in her heart that she tried to
get it right but every time just one thing stood in the way
fear of something, don't know what. i asked her but she couldn't say
and we left. we ran away but didn't make it very far
i think its funny we both wish upon the glitter of that star
the very one we sat beneath when we were back at home
we still look up, its colder now, you and me.... on our own
please have fun, keep your head up
just smile and they'll know
when they see you
Please be careful what comes out of those lips
I might do something stupid
Like believe you
You're against my better judgment girl
Im scared to death of you
But I press on
Somewhere deep inside I know
And all I need
Is to kiss you whenever I want
Life.
No one has it easy
Especially not you
I’ll tell you, you don't need me
On your own you made it through
No, I never should have kissed you goodnight
I could have left it on the doorstep, in hindsight
But its weird I have a little vision of us
Holding hands, minivans, and little kids on the bus
It sounds so silly now we're so young but its true
And I sit here wondering how I can bring this to you
Cuz each day brings me another step closer
and she realizes that nobody knows her
like i do, i'm lied to,
i know in her heart that she tried to
get it right but every time just one thing stood in the way
fear of something, don't know what. i asked her but she couldn't say
and we left. we ran away but didn't make it very far
i think its funny we both wish upon the glitter of that star
the very one we sat beneath embraced when we were back at home
we still look up, its colder now, you and me.... on our own
