I wanted so badly to happen to see you today,
that I left a little early for work and took the long way.
If I happened to see you, I probably wouldn't know what to say,
except I wanted so badly to happen to see you today.
The things you say will stay with me,
I put them up in frames in my memory,
and twist the facts to hold them to the wall.
And when I need some company,
I led them ride on the back of a melody,
but you say you've never wrote a song.
It feels strange, this kind of pain,
but I can't go fishin if it doesn't rain,
so fill me up and soak me to the skin.
We can never go back to way back when
when we couldn't wait for what could've been
At least I get to fall in love again.
We counted all our bug bites
on a trip around the world,
but those are fireflies in the floodlight
and you're a different girl.
At night I'm trying to fall asleep,
and in the day I try to stay awake.
It's the trying part that's new,
do you remember when time flew?
The new moon rose, but who could know?
It's dark as a shadow and it's cold as snow.
Am I getting any better or a different kind of worse?
I watch that phone like a water pot,
thinking please boil over so the waiting stops,
but the waiting's just begun, or so says everyone.
It feels strange, this kind of pain,
but I can't go fishin if it doesn't rain,
so fill me up and soak me to the skin.
We can never go back to way back when
when we couldn't wait for what could've been
At least I get to fall in love again.
I hope I get to fall in love again.
