Help me out, my mind is gone The body and thoughts getting dim It makes me sad when we're together and everything remainds you of him Goodbye memories, see you never I guess these things just stay the same And now that I feel myself falling I'm just waiting here writing all of these songs about you Like old worn-out sneakers, that sit by the bleachers And I guess that I could just wait a week To see your face in front of me The way you walk And the way you speak Keeps my mind at ease I think about you, every night and day I guess, it's only a week Soon I'll get tired, While my own words catch fire, falling promises I'll keep Just to hold you in my arms, You don't have to worry, I'll keep all those nightmares away Like running 'round daytime to hope that you sleep soundly And I guess I'll just have to wait a week To see your face in front of me
