Originally wrote this when I was in high school (Class of 2004). Just adapted & altered sections since then (but not much though)!
lyrics
VERSE 1
Sometimes the simple answers aren't always right.
My love, tends to be out of her mind & out of sight.
A choice becomes a chance if you want it to.
You got to believe in your own self, knowing what to do.
(I know you warned me about this girl.
Oh really?! But she's so pretty.)
VERSE 2
The boat that everyone seems to be jumping on.
Has left me out once again, now there's nothing wrong.
With that, a fresh minded soul is just what I need.
To please, my affected & unsolicited disease.
One test will tell. If the strength she had once built.
Is gone, so long. Not one man could ever weld.
Would you take or break her broken heart?
To the top of every thought.
So this is goodbye, I saw her sink own ship.
No surprise.
CHORUS
Please, baby. Can't you see, what you mean to me?
I love the way you move so sweet.
It has got me off my feet.
BRIDGE
We All Grow Old.
But We Don’t All Grow Up.
POST BRIDGE
One day, you'll start to see. Like me.
(That) One day, it wont be too far to reach.
INTERLUDE
Who is there to trust when you can't express your thoughts
I'm so tongue tied, teary eyed, kiss & lie, suit & tie,
I quiver what to say when you head on over my way.
How can you expect, when your life is such a wreck?
What did I do (boy), to write you this song?
CHORUS
Please, baby. Can't you see, what you mean to me?
I love the way you move so sweet.
It has got me off my feet.
Everyone seems to have this fairytale run.
Can you see what you've become?
Your touch inside means so much that I can't trust.
Such a beautiful face, what a waste of life she is.
I'm feeling down & disgraced that we once embraced.
What was ours, tell me!
Since she's gone. I know that I'm lost.
I can't think straight it's a mystery in front of me.
