I know you thought you'd find me here,

Waiting for the day when you reappear

It's long gone, I'm sad to say

But I think of you almost every day,

Took my time, through the rhythm and the rhyme, but I'm still on track

Used to think life was swim or sink, tired of treading water

Because the deeper you dive, the more you find

That we are nothing more than a cautionary tale

So open the door and let somebody in before life starts to look more grim

Feel the sunlight warm you, lay your body down, and sleep underneath the autumn leaves

Let's slow time down and analyze exactly when I thought I'd die alone

Maybe I need to open my heart, tear down the walls I thought I had to build up

Then I saw you there, and piece by piece, walls came crashing down

You had no cares, and your brunette hair was dancing in the soft spring air

"Could she be the one?" Or will I get scared and shut these feelings down

And now, looking back, I wish I said something to you

Now it's mid-December and the snow's a coming down, I look around, and you're nowhere to be found

So I'm writing you this melody, with my heart upon my sleeve, hoping you see something good in me

Yes, I'm hoping you see something good in me
