Close enough where you’re the only that makes a sound

We could go out dancing forget others are around

You were right there waiting, swearing that you won’t be the one

You were right there singing a song that made you feel like you’re alone

Traffic noises wailing, cars and ambulances with somewhere else to go

Nobody is listening to the whistle of the wind or the proverbial afterglow

 

So tie up both your laces, cut your braces loose and smile

You could grow to someone else but I’ll be here awhile

This could be the difference, if we can’t decide which way to go

Nothing else is missing, I just wished that you, or I, would know

 

There’s something different about being lost and found

Like a mother picking jackets off the ground

It’s nearly Christmas and there’s dust still on the floor

I could wish for something more

I could wish for something special for my days of inconsistency and nights of endless time

I could reach into my mind

And pull out petty change if you just asked

But you didn’t ask

 

Something here is different but the seasons haven’t changed

If loving you was easy, how come hate don’t feel so strange?

You’re looking for a reason, like I’m the one who owes you any more

Well, nothing comes so easy, and we’re the only ones that didn’t know
