I used to think it was all about the tangible things that you could hold in your hand
i used to think without a doubt that all these people in this town were in my plans
I didn't think that things could change that people change and the world would change right with them
I didn't think this song could change it's meaning or it's tone or it's rhythm
but now I see that feelings go and then they come right back with the seasons
now I see that the sky was clear and quickly all those clouds made their way in
and I could cry and i could scream and i could stay inside my dreams but what then
I could say I've seen my ways that I will change and that I've learned my lesson
but who am I convincing?
it sure as hell ain't you
as you walk the way you do
right out the door with all your stuff in that bag
and now I see what it was all about
when you would lay your head upon my chest
we both said that we would do our best
to be better for the other
in your arms is the safest i am
feeling as safe as i simply can
when all that can harm is there in our bed
is really just stirring inside my head
i fight off all those monsters
with a smile and to trust
you to be true i know that you must
your eyes are so kind
they lovingly tell
it's no one else but for me that you fell
