I try not to say I love you
Just because it's something so many say
And I think we've got the chance
For something that you just can't get the easy way.
Well I'm not the perfect person
I just go through what I have to every day.
And the pavement's not so stable here
That you might never think to walk away.
'Cause Penny you're just a girl that I know and I'm just me
Don't ever find words for that look in your eyes
And I like to believe I'm the only one who sees
It's all the faith I keep sometimes and I can't watch it leave
I don't mind trying harder everyday, oh no
'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way
Ah, when we're close
I get fooled into thinking it's all planned
That if we aren't sure
That someone's going to take us by the hand
But getting lost is easy
And you know they'll leave you stranded in the rain
Wishing you'd made that one right move
Oh, Penny, can you keep me from that pain?
Cause I'm sitting on fences
Lost in my old why's and wherefore's
And I trip over promises made too soon
Worried I'll end up kicked out your door
But you know I'll be there knocking
And asking you for more
I don't mind trying harder everyday, oh no
'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way
Oh no no no
We pick a direction and take it as far as we can go
And we wonder sometimes if we've done the right thing
Kills me just to think we'll never know
Sometimes I want to drop it but I can't let it go
I don't mind trying harder everyday, oh no
'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way
I don't mind trying harder everyday, oh no no no
'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way
