Wild May - for Glory Lyrics

He grew up in present day Pleasantville
My best friend in eighth grade was hooked on pills
He played every sport and studied hard
I played my dad's guitar in all the bars
And I took that dream right to NYC
While he got a degree from the Ivy League
Landed him a job downtown on Wall Street
And on his break one day he ran into me

Well he'd been thinking praying about quitting that job
Cause he'd been singing playing and writing his own songs
I guess that we had more in common than I thought
We were inseparable late August through the fall

I walked to his apartment, rehearsing in my head
Surprised it was so hard but I knew that he'd say yes
But I still asked if he thought about being more than friends
And I didn't believe him when he said he wasn't ready yet

And it's the same old same old
Sad love story
You just don't know
You never know
Just let it be for Glory

Well it turns out he'd been sitting in the park praying for a sign
On the same bench just a few years back where I myself once cried
For someone who broke my heart, didn't want to take his time
Now here's the place where someone prays to do everything right

But I didn't see that then I was battling my pride
All I felt was rejected, I tell all my friends a lie
When they ask how I'm doing cause I know they'll just take my side
I kept it all so protected hoping he might change his mind

And it's the same old same old
Sad love story
But you just don't know
You never know
Just let it be for Glory

Opposite ends of his couch
Creeping closer to midnight now
When he called me pretty I just looked down
I see it all so clearly now

Finally I let him go, what's meant to be will be
So when he brought it up I didn't know right there on Division street
He was trying to get the words out
I didn't understand
But I know that we'd be different now when he held out his hand

Now it's a beautiful
True love story
But you just don't know
You never know
Just let it be for Glory

Cause it's our beautiful
Beautiful true love story
But you just don't know
You never know
So let it be for Glory
