Lyrics

PRETTY FAR

I drove pretty far in my car
to tell you all the things that you are to me
I think that you know me by now
and the reason I came can?t be said out loud.

Its just an excuse the way I work so obtusely
but I?d rather have you touch me just to push me away,
than to say all I feel, mean all I say,
Have you say that you love me but in not the same way.

I?m such an intruder but I don?t want to lose you
and I think that you?re slipping away
I?m such an intruder but I hope the word is diluted in your head,
when you think of me.

Could you ever,would you ever reach out and grasp me?
Its possible you will but highly unlikely.
Is this just another day for you?
A day a boy complicates as usual as he comes through?

Today we play this game
to see how much I?ll say
I can?t believe that you didn?t walk away
I?ll play cuz you sit and stay and let me play so I?ll play this game

I said ?do you love him??
?What kind of question is that?? you said.
?I said do you love him??
You said, ?No not just yet.

But I think I could, think I will, think I?m falling for the man
and besides I?m always here and where have you been?......

I want someone on hand.?

I avert my eyes
so I don?t pervert my mind with you
I shut my mouth from giving to lose nothing that?s worth living.

If I don?t give it can?t live if it can?t live it can?t die...
and I?m sick of things dying so I won?t even try to say...
what I should say...to you.

Okay, So we?re friends so we sleep back to back while you sleep
I kiss you on the back of your neck
You roll away lost in a dream it seems
I know you know what I mean and now I won?t say
What my role?s cast to say...to you

I wonder if I?m worth as much as half as much as you ?

Guess I didn?t drive all that far in my car.
Guess I didn?t say all the things that you are to me
soon enough so I?ll pray he?ll pass like the last one and next
time I come to town I?ll say what I?ve come to say...

What I need to say...What I?m cast to say...
I?ll be the last one to say.
