If I knew you I'd make you the best thing I can with my hands
If I knew you I'd write you a song with fewer words
And if I was alone, if I was free, I'd give you the time that I have
But I'll leave it and leave it and leave it
And I'll see you around sometime
Will you know that there's something on my side?
I need you to know but I can't say
I've settled with someone above me and god damn I'm trying to be good
The love that I thought I would never deserve
Cause I'm too difficult
He knows I have problems and I can't sit still without
Crashing and burning
And crying and turning our world upside down
Cause I'm scared, I'm so scared
So I'm sitting here thinking about you
And I feel like a sinner
Cause I love what I have but I want it all
In my greed and my childishness
And he'll stick by me but I'll hurt him
And I'll hold both my hands to his chest
And I won't let you know, I'll be safe and go home
And I won't lose a thing and I'll sleep without dreams
He will cry in the night, we'll let time make it right
And we'll go on
We'll go on
