lyrics

I know that you think I’ll be alright, but the truth is, the truth is
I know that you think I’ll be just fine, but the truth is, the truth is
Every time your birthday comes ‘round, I start to freak out
Every time I see you downtown, I want to hide out
Everything had always been the same, and
Now it feels like we’re turning a page, but
I don’t think I can even explain what I’m feeling

I thought I’d love you ’til the end of time
I still think of the nights we drank red wine
Picture my fingertips along your spine
Just you and me hanging out on cloud nine

And maybe you still want to have me around
But I think I’ve run out of patience now
‘Cause I don’t know what you think when I reach out
I wish you would let me see more of yourself

I thought I’d love you ’til the end of time
I still think of the nights we drank red wine
Picture my fingertips along your spine
Just you and me hanging out on cloud nine
