Not for Nothing

In late September my head fills with thoughts of a better time Even quick discussions we had on the ride home from work And I still remember I'd memorize stories to set aside Just to tell you and not for nothing but every word meant the world I wish I could turn back time You don't know what you have 'til it's faded away And I blurred that line with you 'Cause you never faded, you stayed in the back of my head Like a distant green light on the Waters where I'd reminisce every night Take me down, I can't recover now Bury every mistake deep down, miles below 'Cause the autumn's coming, there's fading traces of summer now And not for nothing, there's nowhere that I wouldn't go Just to see you again I know your story is different you found a light (Hold it together) I know priorities shifted, I bet it wasn't painless all the time (Cold with the weather) As I look from a distance, I'm glad it worked out in another life (October forever) And not for nothing but you're still amazing in my eyes I wish I could turn back time You don't know what you have 'til it's faded away And I blurred that line with you 'Cause you never faded, you stayed in the back of my head Like a distant green light on the Waters where I'd reminisce every night Take me down, I can't recover now Bury every mistake deep down, miles below 'Cause the autumn's coming, there's fading traces of summer now And not for nothing, there's nowhere that I wouldn't go I still remember summer nights, the fading sight of fireworks Every time we talk, it's like I never really find the words I'll never say it, but you'll always have a place inside my- I know you know Forsaken by the timing and the circumstance, I wish we weren't younger then Late at night I question if you listen and you're wondering Is this about you? Is it really still about you all the time? I know you know I still remember summer nights, the fading sight of fireworks Every time we talk, it's like I never really find the words I'll never say it but you'll always have a place inside my- I know you know Forsaken by the timing and the circumstance, I wish we weren't younger then Late at night I question if you listen and you're wondering Is this about you? Is it really still about you all the time? I know you know,I know you know it is I see your green light shine every day And it seems like it's miles away Like a dream life I couldn't chase 'Cause I was afraid, I was afraid
