VERSE 1:
I'm wishing you'd come close
You're wishing she'd come closer
I lie awake at night
Less than several feet from what I hope for
There's so much more to me
That what is obvious to
Everybody else, and if you're falling down
I'm there to catch you
CHORUS:
No matter what I do I can't get over you
Honestly, honestly there is nothing I can do
No matter what I say, I know who's in the way
Honestly, honestly I don't know how long to wait
VERSE 2:
You have a certain charm
A certain ignorance that I'm attracted to
And with you, you are a little clueless
We're standing very close (very close)
But you're a thousand worlds (no cigar)
Away from where I am (no cigar)
And I can't stand to bring myself much closer
BRIDGE:
If there was a moment I guess we missed it
Long ago I know that no one's perfect
You and I, our time, we missed it like a
Bus or train it's a shame, we could have had it all
CHORUS:
No matter what I do (No matter what I do)
I can't get over you (I can't get over you)
Honestly, honestly
There is nothing I can do (nothing I can do)
No matter what I say (No matter what I say)
I know who's in the way (I know I'm in the way)
Honestly, honestly
I don't know how long I'll wait
CHORUS 2:
Please just don't say you don't
And I won't say I won't
Honestly, honestly this is what I really want (it's what I really want)
Stuck in the friendship zone
The two of us alone
Honestly, honestly (honestly, honestly)
How could you have not have known? (how did you not even know?)
How did you not even know?

Where I've Always Been

VERSE 1:
I promised you I'd keep your secrets
I never said I would let them hurt me
And in this dance, you insist on doing
It's pretty clear they're going to hurt me
The only way you're gonna learn
If my back on you I turn
CHORUS:
And when you find yourself I'll be right here
Where I've always been
And when you find yourself
I'll be right here
VERSE 2:
I told you to be honest with me
I really hoped it would get this out
The only way to drag me down
Is happening to me right now
BRIDGE:
I know you're not yourself
You're being someone else
You've lost your trust in trust
So just come back to us
I know you're not yourself (not yourself)
You're being someone else (with someone else)
You've lost your trust in trust (trust in trust)
So just come back to us
CHORUS 2:
And when you find yourself I'll be right here
Just like I've always been
And when you find yourself
I'll be right here

No One Could Be My You

|
VERSE 1:
This was a dream, but I'm not waking up
And it seems, it's my world versus yours
CHORUS:
With nothing to hold me back
Nothing to hold on to
Nothing in all the world
No one could be my "you"
VERSE 2:
I knew the way, but I'm not coming back
From this one, no I'm not coming back
BRIDGE:
If there was a moment, I guess we missed it
COUNTER CHORUS:
We set out of adventure
We set out for the truth
We set out for the thrill of winning
But we always lose

VERSE 1:
So let's talk about our feelings in a real and open way
And finally say those sentiments we never got to say
I'll say "I wish I fell in love with you the moment that we met"
You'll say "And that is the one memory I never will forget"
CHORUS 1:
I always hid
How I felt and who I felt it with
Not that it made a difference
I'll never fit in
Til you let me in
So c'mon let me in
VERSE 2:
So let's talk about our feelings in a real and open way
And celebrate these memories before they fade away
We seem to misplace our identity in future and in past
The good times are amazing but they never seem to last
CHORUS:
I wish they did
So take me back to when we both were kids
It chokes me up and pokes me in the ribs
Did I never fit
Til you let me in?
So glad you let me in

VERSE 1:
I don't want to go
I don't want to leave my friends behind
Wind up as a ghost
Floating aimless like I'm blind
I don't want to go
I don't want to be a memory
I don't even know
Hope they will remember me
CHORUS:
Way beyond the grasp of time
And one day we all will find
A little piece of who we thought we were
I'm sorry I was me instead of her
Just beyond these arms of mine
VERSE 2:
I don't want to go (I don't want to go)
But there is a job for me to do
I'm sorry but I know (I'm sorry but I know)
I'm never coming back to you
I'm not really gone (I'm not really gone)
A piece of me lives on in all of you
You're not really gone (you're not really gone)
But sometimes that feels further from the truth (gone)
CHORUS 2:
Way beyond the grasp of time
And one day we all will find
A little piece of who we thought we were
I'm sorry when our feelings start to blur
Just beyond these arms of mine
CHORUS 3:
Way beyond the grasp of time
And one day we all will find
A little piece of who we thought we were
Your destiny with me was never sure
Now I'm on the other side
