[walbourn]

let's not drag this out everything's in motion
though I've only ever loved you kind and with devotion
remember when I met you were leaving from the start
thought one day you'd probably just come home and break my heart
it's funny what you know and still go on pretending
no good evidence you'll ever see that happy ending

you looking for your distance
and sensing my resistance you had do your will
I had to learn the hard way
we were just an empty dream too big for hope alone to fill

I know that I'm a dreamer so I'll give you that
still I hope I'm more than just a place you laid your hat
you're a land of secrets its only citizen
though I paid my dues I was never allowed in
so I am a stranger especially today
'cause I get sad and lonely and you get your way

holding on for change that I know never stood a chance
so I could only wait and watch you slip right through my hands
