Lyrics

I had to think of something along the way
To keep me entertained
I thought about you, I thought about life
I thought about love
I know I?m a poet with a poker face
Letting on I?m unconcerned with the way you speak
When all you say means a great deal to me

You always have a question behind your smile
What would you know of me
From the moment I saw you
I wanted to tell you everything

All I can do is stick around and have a drink or two
Keep my distance and bite my tongue
I?m going on the instincts of one
So swept away, then turned around by the games we play
Its so hard for me to explain

All these words are woven to touch your heart
They?re all I have when kisses don?t mean anything
On to the next week and forgot about me with the
Dusty little passages in paper backs
That talk about
The struggles of love and the glories of war
But if I left love what the hell would I be fighting for

I know I haven?t been myself these days
But I never want to be someone you couldn?t take
