Whoa, whoa, whoa
I just fell in the deep end
Like a lush without her weekend
I wrote this for you kid
It's not what I wanted but I need it
But man it's a long trip
From all the crazy things I've seen in this world
I'm blessed, I guess
What if I was the secret and you couldn't keep it
And I swear I saw something good in your eyes before
And if I sang it in the right key
And I asked you politely for you to find a way home
(Find a way home, whoa, whoa)
I find it difficult to sleep when all the walls
Seem to talk to me
I find it that I can laugh
Because my heart's so fucked up I can barely stand the
Sudden sounds of the cars outside
The red and greens on the traffic lights
That the only thing I got is this
The only thing I want is this
Memories to make me smile
A girl to stand there and so she can admire
The way I can never ever really keep my hands to myself
But the alcohol tastes so sweet
When it's mixed with lies and defeat
Oh all the battles I lost and lost again
What if I was the secret and you couldn't keep it
And I swear I saw something pretty in your eyes before
And if I sang it in the right key
And I asked you politely for you to find a way home
(Find a way, a way, a way, a way)
What if you were the secret
And I didn't see it
And I swear to God I wish these thoughts of mine
Could create the sunshine
It's beautiful as your eyes
I paint this night sky
And it's not like you need this
I just wanted you to see it
Tonight
