YOU OR ME

 

YOU OR ME

IT CAME AS NO SURPRISE 

THE RAIN THE COLD GRAY SKIES

ONCE AGAIN TO REMIND ME

THE HIGHEST HOPES AND DREAMS

SOMETIMES FALL 

MAYBE FATE IS FLAWED

THE ANSWERS AREN'T ALWAYS THERE

LIFE HAS A WAY OF SHOWING YOU

IT JUST DON'T CARE

 

FLYING IN THE FACE OF REASON

EVERYONE FOR THEMSELVES

IT'S YOU OR ME

WHAT WILL BE YOU CAN BE SURE

WE WILL SEE

SUNSHINE TO BREAK THE RAIN

LIFT OUR HEADS TO THE SKY 

SO BLUE AND CLEAR

THE FUTURE SPEEDS NEAR

FASTER THAN IT EVER DID BEFORE

YOU POUR YOURSELF

 INTO WATCHING IT GO BY

EVERYONE HAS A PART IN IT

EVEN YOU AND I

 

DON'T MATTER IF IT RAINS

DON'T MATTER IF THE SUN SHINES

WITHOUT LOVE

YOU'RE FLYING BLIND

NO FAITH AT ALL

YOU'LL NEVER FIND

PEACE OF MIND

YOU'LL KEEP ON DRIFTING UNAWARE

THAT YOU WERE EVER THERE

 

YOU JUST SIT THERE AND DREAM

AND NOBODIES SEEN YOU

ON THESE CITY STREETS

HOW ABOUT SOME SUNSHINE

TO BREAK THIS SPELL

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE HEAVEN

INSTEAD OF THIS HELL

IF THERE'S A WILL

THERE'S A WAY

I TRY NOT TO LIVE IN YESTERDAY

BUT SOMETIMES MY MIND

DRAGS ME BACK

THINKS THERE'S SOMETHING

I SHOULD SEE

ON THE EDGE OF SUMMER

LOADED BY THE SPRING

SOMEHOW IT DOESN'T

MEAN MUCH OF ANYTHING 

THIS TIME AROUND

 WITHOUT YOU

I FEEL A LITTLE LOST

THE WIND BLOWS

THE LEAVES STIR

SEEMS I HARDLY NOTICE

SOMEWHERE

 DEEP IN THOUGHT 

I LOOK AT YOUR PICTURE

AND I KNOW I MUST OF

LOST MY HEAD

DID I DO THIS TO US

TO PROVE I COULD

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO

 GO LIKE THIS

I KISSED YOU WHEN 

WE SAID GOODBYE

YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRY

TO STOP ME

THE LONGEST NIGHTS TO COME

WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE

I CAN'T HELP THIS FEELING

I'M A LITTLE EMPTY

MY AIM IS IMPAIRED

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE

 I CAN DO 

REACH OUT FOR SOMETHING

I CAN'T FIND

TIME KEEPS MOVING

NEVER STOPPING

ITS A BLUR TO ME

BUT ONCE IN AWHILE

IT DOESN'T SEEM

 TO MOVE AT ALL

CAUGHT BETWEEN THIS

AND EVERYTHING

 

AT THE END WHEN

THIS IS THROUGH

AND I'M BACK WITH YOU

ITS ONLY THEN

THAT I'LL KNOW PEACE

MY HEART

 WON'T FEEL SO LOST 

YOUR PICTURE

COUNTS THE DAYS

MY EYES SEE YOURS

LOOKING INTO MINE AGAIN

SOON GIRL MY FRIEND

MY LOVE

YOUR PICTURE 

COUNTS THE DAYS
