i've been waiting here for you for so long

and it's been several weeks since i last saw you there

if you had only come around again then i

might have said to you what i've been thinking of



she's more than beautiful at night

when all of her stars are out

and still sometimes when it's warm and quiet

i'll get thinking about

summer in st. claire



these days are getting shorter as october falls

and with it come the coldest memories i own

and like the leaves that fall from trees my dreams come slow

as if to say to me that i should let it go



she's more than beautiful at night

when all of her stars are out

and still sometimes i wonder why

she was crying her eyes out

and i guess i'll never know



lying in bed

wishing i was somewhere else instead

i've got to figure this one out

just between you and me and god

cuz everybody needs

some time to heal

and everybody needs

like everybody bleeds

can't we sit and talk

about all that we've loved and lost

and what it's cost

and i'll put on a show for you

pretending not to hurt

like nothing's ever wrong

and you'll see right through me

and i'll be there for you

and you'll be there for me

and i'll feign strong

and you'll see right through me

and you'll see right through me
