VERSE 1:
I wanna help you make the right decisions
But I don't know exactly what you're missing
I used to think you'd always understand me
But now it seems that I can't see you clearly
CHORUS 1:
No one can make this choice for you
But you've definitely got to choose
VERSE 2:
You want to live up to their expectations
But all they're asking leads to complications
And no one really knows just what they're asking
Cause nobody can survive this passing
CHORUS 2:
And what I want, what I want, what I want for you
Is only what is good
Is what I want, what I want, what I need to do
With fate or here with you
BRIDGE 1:
You're losing grip on your way
The dawn seems darker today
The sun is hiding its face
Where do I misplace my faith?
In ways you cannot explain
The pain of choice, or just pain
On giving up on your name
And letting friends walk away
BRIDGE 2:
There was no one right move
Nothing for you to do
Living a life for two or giving your life

Green Eyes

VERSE 1:
You have the biggest green eyes I'd ever seen
And with that cool calm stare you looked/stared straight at me
There's not a single thing that keeps you going each week
But when I think of saying something I can hardly speak
You have the biggest damn heart that I've ever seen
And with your open doors, you welcomed me in
But like the stupid boy I am I pushed away from me
And now there's awkwardness between us and it's killing me
CHORUS:
I miss the way you'd beat me up by accident
I miss the way you'd help me feel more confident
(I miss the way you didn't know who I was)
(I miss the way)
This is a love song
That came out all wrong
This is a love song
That took me too long
VERSE 2:
You had the biggest green eyes I'd ever seen
And when you looked at me I'm certain you see right through me
And maybe one day I would figure out the way that you feel
But for now we'll have deal with being somewhat less real
I had a single minded vision and I missed out of this
Except for plenty of "I'm sorry"s and a hell of a kiss
It's not an understatement to say I am dealing with this
In such a way to what end I'm unsure of how bad it is
OUTRO:
You had the biggest green eyes
And the greatest right hook
One hundred yard stare
And a love like in a book

The Letter
04:35
|
|||
VERSE 1:
I know it's too late
To say that I'm sorry
I missed your signals
How could I not see?
CHORUS:
You were the brightest one of us
You held this beacon of our love
And now I'll write to you beyond this earthly realm
There's something that I've got to tell
VERSE 2:
The way that you saw me
Completely clueless
I know it's too late
But I need to do this
CHORUS 2:
I never really held your hand
And when I did, I did not understand
You were the brightest one and now you've burnt out, gone
I'm never gonna find someone
OUTRO:
We missed our time
For us to shine
There was no happy ending
We missed our chance
At least we danced
No happy endings

This is a love song that came out all wrong

VERSE 1:
I'm so confused, but that's nothing new
I'm normally with you, so what do I do?
You found me out, but won't turn me in
You like me more than a friend, but where does that end?
CHORUS:
On these rooftops with the skyline watching
Catching me out, wearing me down
In these hallways with the doorways leading
Leading you out, letting you down
VERSE 2:
What do I do? Now I'm here just with you
Is it too good for true? I don't know how to choose
She sees my faults, is never quick to insult
She always picks up my mood
OUTRO:
The heart wants what it wants
Like a ghost it'll haunt you
Every moment you wake
The head thinks what it needs
Is a just little reprieve
But it is just a mistake
