“But their good times come with prices and I can’t believe it when I hear the jokes they make. At anyone’s expense except their own, would they laugh if they knew who paid?”
“Hope, oh what a funny word. Wasn’t like I was expecting all this falling down. I sit by the window watching the air that you breathe, so far away. I’m yours, I’m yours.”
“Walk it off now, you can tell them all how good it feels to be let down. Tell them all about how long it was to get around to her side of town. Here we stand. There’s nothing left for you, there’s nothing left for me. Here I am.”
Well I guess this is where I left my life
And all its operations
And I know that I will never get this twice
With all negotiations
This feels like the place between what is and might have been
So I guess this is where we both find out
If this was meant to be
And I’ll tell myself, I don’t need you
I’ll tell myself enough to get me through
But I’ll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
If you can take a little more
Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue
When you said you’d never get tired of the boy
That seemed to be so far from growing up
But we were different then
This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way
And I’ll tell myself, I don’t need you
I’ll tell myself enough to get me through
But I’ll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
If you can wait a little more
This feels like the time that I’m ready for you
Are you ready for me
‘Cause I’ll tell myself I’ll make it through
I’ll tell myself anything to get over you
And I won’t blame you but I’m finally ready to show you
That I’m ready to show you, I’m ready to show you, yeah
I’ll tell myself that I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway
I need you
I need you now
I need you now
I’m ready now
