Lyrics

VERSE 1 I was not a boy, I was not yet man, I was lost and in-between With nothing in my hands… You were just a girl, And you were not alone You were just an open line, A still unwritten song… But you were not impressed, When I turned back your way… You saw me as I was, And what else could I say? So I had time to wait, To watch you rise and shine, Watch you from the balcony, Down beside the symphony…. And long before you looked for me, I knew… I knew….. that CHORUS You are my everything, To you I offer everything, I never had a song to sing, Until you…. Until you. VERSE 2 It was early freshman year, And I gave you a ride. Taken by your innocence, I watched you walk inside. But you had things to learn, And I had more to do… I lived outside your tapestry, And wrestled with my blues… But, you were like the sun… That burns the night away. You saw me at my best, What else could I say? I learned how to love, And you were made to hurt… I went off to find myself… I came back and saw you there… And breathed you in like new born air… And knew… I knew…. That CHORUS BRIDGE With a band of gold… communion wine, I said I do and you were mine… The melody was right on time… Harmony In perfect rhyme… And though I lived out on the fence, Just a song of circumstance… You gave my heart a second chance… And became my best defense… And suddenly, I made sense… CHORUS AND OUT……….
