I am not much older that's for sure but I'm a little bit older a little bit older a little bit older than before no one should have given me a heart I was running it over running it over running it over the floor I was crying at your door now I'm a little bit older than before I was so afraid to go outside now I'm coming over I'm coming over I'm coming over to be by your side I am not much older that's for sure but I'm a little bit older a little bit older a little bit older than before I don't think we were that much happier before I think we're coming closer we're coming closer we're coming closer to shore

you want my life story, well, I got it right here I'm coming over cause I know you're not coming here but it isn't what you're thinking this time I'm thinking clear been changing my mind it's taken years I'm making you mine this time I'm making you mine this time gonna make you mine this time, you hear? the sun is rising, it feels like it's been years I'm sick and tired of wishing you were here but it isn't what you're thinking if you're thinking I don't want you here I can change my mind but I can't clear you away no I can't clear you away gonna make you mine this time gonna make you I'm making you mine this time, you here? I'm feeble and I want to cry I'm gentle it's in my eyes so here's my life story: I wish you were here I'm tired of being lonely, I wish you were here but it isn't what you're thinking if you think I'm gonna let you change the way I'm thinking when I write a song about you it isn't what you're thinking if you think I'm gonna let you change the way I'm thinking when I'm happier without you it isn't what you're thinking if you think I'm gonna let you change my mind I'm making you mine this time I'm making you mine this time gonna make you mine this time, you hear?

walking away from you it's been a block or two but I might as well be on a plane I might as well be miles away when will I see you again? is it nine-thirty or ten? eleven-thirty or another day? I'm always early and you're always late and it hurts to know that I'm the kind to lose control I gave my bones up to your eyes and laid down you can wreck my home but do be kind and leave my soul or just a piece of it inside it's either you or I be the one who's gonna save my life walking up next to you god it makes me blue if I were stronger you would make my day if I were smarter I'd be walking away and when the party begins I should be with my friends but I'm a hundred million rooms away believing everything you do or say and it hurts to know that I'm the kind to lose control I gave my bones up to your eyes and laid down you can wreck my home but do be kind and leave my soul or some part of it inside it's either you or I you or I it's either you or I be the one who's gonna save my life walking a way from you it's been a block or two and I'm praying you don't look my way lord I'm praying I was miles away I'll never see you again at least that's what I said at least until I'm dead and in my grave between the two of us I'm on my way

you're the sum of the warmest seasons and you're the hum on my wire I'm made up of broken pieces and I'm welded by fire everybody's talking about it the way I'm spinning spinning out of your sight everybody seems to doubt it and I never seem to get you right no I never seem to get you right they told me you were waiting for me to get serious I told myself I was only being mysterious but I never seem to get it right no I never seem to get you right so you think that you're clever you think you're so much better maybe you're right there's one thing I could never ever do and that's let her lose in a fight everybody's talking about it they say you let him in your window last night they say "What you gonna do about it?" and I never seem to get you right no I never seem to get you right you told me you were sorry and it's best for the two of us but now I know there never was a two of us there never was a two

I used to think that you were something better than you are I guess that's life it's full of tests I did my best you were pushing me too far a year ago I would've cried I would've cried to watch you slip away but now it's okay and I'm no longer innocent I used to think good people were the ones who never ever said goodbye it was a lie, it was a lie it was just something in the way you changed it's the way you talk, I can't explain it but what's done is done this time I won't apologize a year ago I would've died I would've died if I let you drift away but now I celebrate because I'm no longer innocent don't you think we were something much better than we are? some ships will sink and now I'll look for something better I only want a better life

I guess you could say that I'm lovesick honestly that ain't the half of it I could forget my name in a head on collision but I'd be damned if I couldn't remember February to September in a past life I never ever let her go well I heard it on the news today he was crushed by a ton of bricks but a broken heart can safely say that ain't the half of it now that you're gone and I'm alone now that you're gone and I'm alone again I guess you could say, that's life, tough shit honestly that ain't the half of it I could erase my mind for some brainwashed religion but I'd be damned if I didn't remember hibernating through November in a past life I never ever let her go well I saw it on the news today they were cooked by cannibals sure would be nice to go that way but I'm just supper for my love well my heart and I would gladly take a car flying off a cliff any old day over your blue eyes who needs your blue blue eyes I guess you could say that I'm lovesick whatever you say ain't the half of it

wasting a day is just the same as wasting your life your darkest day only means that there's light I don't care what you say I feel like breaking my own bonds now been banging my head against the wall for too long now I'm taking the needle from my arm now cause when there's a world there's gonna be a way when you're weak and alone you pray that it shows on the other side but don't wait too long for someone else's light could take too long and I feel like burning my old life down done dragging my darkness around on sunny days and I'll take my place in heaven right about now cause when there's a world there's gonna be a way
