I've been waiting almost all my life
Just waiting to be found
I've become so good at hiding
That nobody sticks around
She said that I don't let anyone
Ever know just who I am
Believe me that is not my intention
But it explains how I am where I am
I no longer believe in love
Won't you help me to believe?
I'm hoping you still got, got a couple tricks
Stuffed into those dusty sleeves
It would be nice to know that all is forgiven
It would do me good to know you're doing fine
But after all the second chances given
I'm not sure your heart still feels inclined
I know this will make perfect sense one fine day
But for now it is the great unknown
And it's so hard to find the time
To think a thought that you know is your very own
I'm afraid that there might be many things
That I'll never be allowed to know
I don't mind sitting in the shadows
As these northern winds begin to blow
We know that we're getting so much stronger
In ways that we never wanted to be
The nights up here are getting so much longer
I'm under foreign skies without your company
Remember how we walked down those old train tracks
Your fingers intertwined with mine
I hope you know just what it is you meant to me
'Cause there's no way back no way to rewind
