I saw you, you left behind the stage From the background where you could never stay Cause I left you, I left you on the page Now there's nobody to talk to And when you go out I hope that you're okay From the backdrops where you could never stay And it's all good when everybody left But now there's nobody to talk to When I was seventeen stories high Coming up to the edge How'd you wanna go? How would you write your end? Never you would have guessed The obvious thing to do Stop it and let you stay But I don't know what to do And then someone, somewhere in the past I found you it moved just so fast And it's all just another way That we want someone to talk to Now every little thing I feared has come to pass You came to life in spite of all my best attempts So ride off in the sunset cause it's all the same to me When I was seventeen stories high Coming up to the edge How'd you wanna go? How would you write your end? Never you would have guessed The obvious thing to do Stop it and let you stay But I don't know what to do Go and find your broken soul Mend it on your own If it makes you sleep at night When we fall in love at the wrong time I can't stand to see you cry So darling, dry those eyes When we fall through ground to the other side And I stare into your eyes And I know where I lay; its right beside you Tied forever and Now every little thing I feared has come to pass You came to life in spite of all my best attempts So ride off in the sunset cause it's all the same to me When I was seventeen stories high Coming up to the edge How'd you wanna go? How would you write your end? Never you would have guessed The obvious thing to do Stop it and let you stay But I don't know what to do It's all lost I'm wanting to take this time to let you know I was falling and debating Deciding when to let you go At what cost? I'm searching just trying to keep my head up high And calling; it doesn't matter It's all just how you say goodbye And I won't, I won't fall A thousand times from way up high It's all that, that I can stand At least for now
