If they could see the world
. . . Through my eyes
. . . If she would only understand
I didn't write the rules,
. . . I wasn't playing to lose,
. . . I'm not the man she thinks I am
How is it that girls
. . . Always acquire the stars in their
dreams
. . . Leaving me to face the dawn.
Always chasing the nights,
. . . No matter how long they seem,
. . . And I've known it all along
She thought I was the man
. . . Who hung up the moon,
. . . And lit the stars at night.
But loves' lost lies
. . . Lie only to the heart,
. . . Blinding all insight
Love is sad
. . . When you can't touch your dreams
But maybe it's better this way,
. . . Because they can't touch me
So I'll live my life,
. . . Pursuing the unwritten rhyme
. . . Tearing through the pages of time
. . . Falling
from
line
to
line
I could slip into your dreams
. . . If you won't wake up too soon.
But if you're telling me lies
. . . Erase these lines
. . . Let me write something new.
