i’m noah
except it never did rain
i wasted my time on the ark
locked inside it everyday
i only hope when the sky goes dark
friends say i’m not helping anything
by refrusing to move on
but i lose more than a girl
if i admit that i was wrong
and hope does not get weaker when it should
and love is never fair
all the time i spent building this
disappears into dry air
could i find a reason to hate her?
blame for a broken heart
no, she never did anything to me
and i think that’s the worst part
kiss me
like you don’t believe in history
like all the times before meant nothing
next to just one more
i told you
i told you i needed you
tell me i will never fail
and there’s some truth in fairy tales
but i don’t wanna listen to the radio
i don’t want to fight
i don’t want you to go
stay right here, we can make it
and if you don’t love me anymore
fake it.
you make me
you make me dream of daring schemes
i do not
expect to win half the battles i begin
it’s over
except for the leaving and the crying
but i said
i said ‘always’ and i was not lying
but i don’t wanna listen to the radio
i don’t want to fight
i don’t want you to go
stay right here, we can make it
and if you don’t love me anymore
fake it.
i never asked the world to help me off the ground
dust me off, hug me, and carry me around
i sip life through a straw, slow and steady wins the race
i forget that every time i’ve ended up in second place
if you call my name i’ll try to make you smile
i never asked for anyone to stand with rank and file
every now and then i stop to wonder where i am
but i never asked the world to give a damn
i park in distant space, walk too far back home
i don’t complain about the fact i’m most often alone
when i feel the dark clouds coming, hear thunder like a train
doubt is just a lack of hope and truth is falling rain
i never was one to try and change the way you live
i didin’t keep score of what you take and what i give
i only wish that empty wasn’t so easy to feel
i never gave you anything you did not want to steal
i haven’t seen snow in texas in ten years
but this winter seems cold enough without you here
i don’t know why you have to get married
during the holidays
’cause i gave you my valentine’s
and my 4th of july
now you’ll spend christmas
with some other guy
i guess i really saw this coming, i know
i always thought you fall for me like
texas snow….eventually
i don’t know why you think that guy
can give what i cannot
’cause i gave you my valentine’s
and my 4th of july
now you’ll spend christmas
with some other guy
