lyrics

i don't know where to begin
i know you're too good for him
and when you drive back in to town
he'll call you up to bring you down

he does not deserve your second chance
your perfect smile or your small hands
yeah he is much less than a man
darling try and understand
but i don't think you can

cause things wont be the way they were
you might lose your friends you might get hurt
who am i to love you in return?
but if i stay quiet i cant get burned

cause i've been having these dreams where we get to talk this through
and i've been walking these streets like a, like a goddamn fool
and i've been saying some things that i might regret real soon
but i never meant to fall so hard for you

there's so much i have to say
but the silence is mine to break
cause i've not told you the truth
from the day that i met you

and if this year you drive back east
and you find you feel something for me
i cant promise that i'll speak
but these words are weighing down on me
and i can barely breathe

cause things wont be the way they were
it's the one thing that i'll say for sure
now our lives are moving in reverse
but its your turn now i spoke up first

cause i've been having these dreams where we get to talk this through
and i've been walking these streets like a, like a goddamn fool
and i've been saying some things that i might regret real soon
but i never meant to fall so hard for you

and wont you pray for me

maybe when its colder out
and the leaves'll fall as they turn brown
and i can tell you what that songs about
but i wont say thats how i feel right now, anyhow

cause i'm still having these dreams where we get to talk this through
and i'm still walking these streets like a, like a goddamn fool
and i'm still saying some things that i might regret real soon
but i never meant to fall so hard for you
