Lyrics

Foolish By Collin Warren
Copyright 2006. All rights reserved.

VERSE 1
We've been talking all night long
And everything I've said has been wrong
Because you're right
And there's no reason
I could give that would be good enough
For you to let me stay
Except to say that you still want me to anyhow

CHORUS
So if you ever plan to be foolish
Let it be now

VERSE 2:
Believe me I know it's not fairr
To show up here with these tears in my determined stare
But I'm lost, bent and broken
And yours is the only face I recognize
In this terrible light
And I just might float away
If you won't hold me down

CHORUS
So if you ever plan to be foolish
Let it be now

BRIDGE:
If just for one chance to recall
The songs we knew before the world grew small
And horizons clogged with laws to be obeyed
Just put your hand upon my face once more
'Cause it won't be long before
Yesterday's tomorrow is only tomorrow's yesterday

VERSE 3:
Oh, I can't unclench my fist
If there's nothing more to say then I'll say this

Maybe you're right and there's no reason
That you should let me stay
But what's reason anyway, except what other people say
I need you
And that's the only truth I've found

CHORUS:
So if you ever plan to be foolish
Let it be now.
