THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE
IS KEEP BELIEVING
THERE'S SOMEONE
IN THIS CRAZY WORLD FOR ME
THE WAY THAT PEOPLE COME AND GO
THROUGH TEMPORARY LIVES
MY CHANCE COULD COME
AND I MIGHT NEVER KNOW

I USED TO SAY, NO PROMISES
LET'S KEEP IT SIMPLE
BUT FREEDOM ONLY HELPS
YOU SAY GOODBYE
IT TOOK A WHILE FOR ME TO LEARN
THAT NOTHIN' COMES FOR FREE
THE PRICE I'VE PAID IS
HIGH ENOUGH FOR ME

I KNOW I NEED TO BE IN LOVE
I KNOW I'VE WASTED
TOO MUCH TIME
I KNOW I ASK PERFECTION
OF A QUITE IMPERFECT WORLD
AND FOOL ENOUGH TO THINK
THAT'S WHAT I'LL FIND

SO HERE I AM WITH POCKETS
FULL OF GOOD INTENTIONS
BUT NONE OF THEM WILL
COMFORT ME TONIGHT
I'M WIDE AWAKE AT FOUR A.M.
WITHOUT A FRIEND IN SIGHT
HANGING ON A HOPE
BUT I'M ALRIGHT

I KNOW I NEED TO BE IN LOVE
I KNOW I'VE WASTED
TOO MUCH TIME
I KNOW I ASK PERFECTION
OF A QUITE IMPERFECT WORLD
AND FOOL ENOUGH TO THINK
THAT'S WHAT I'LL FIND

I KNOW I NEED TO BE IN LOVE
I KNOW I'VE WASTED
TOO MUCH TIME
I KNOW I ASK PERFECTION
OF A QUITE IMPERFECT WORLD
AND FOOL ENOUGH TO THINK
THAT'S WHAT I'LL FIND
FOOL ENOUGH TO THINK
THAT'S WHAT I'LL FIND

THAT SUMMER AT THE BEACH WAS THE TIME I WON'T FORGET
I COULD FEEL YOUR HEARTBEAT,
RUNNING MY FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR
ROLL IT ALL, ??? 'CAUSE MY EYES WERE ON YOU
ALL THOSE WAVES CRUSHING ALONG,
PREMONITION COMING TRUE
YOU WERE SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS,
LIKE A HAND FULL OF SAND
I TRYINA CATCH SMALL WITH MY B-B-BARE HANDS
I DIDN'T READ THAT STUPID WRITE ALONG ON
THAT STUPID WALL
I WENT AHEAD AND GOT ATTACHED, NOW I CAN'T LET GO

'CAUSE YOU'RE THE GOOD TO MY BYE
THE TOM TO MY JERRY, THE DAY TO MY NIGHT
I'LL NEVER BE READY TO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO
AND TIME ISN'T LIKE US, IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS AND
I'LL NEVER GET TIRED OF WISHIN' YOU WERE HERE,
I'LL NEVER LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO

THEY SAY TIME HEALS ALL,
BUT WOULD YOU LOOK AT WHERE I STAND
WHEN OPENS SKIES ARE SHOWING NO MEDALLIONS
IN MY HEAD
THREE YEARS ON THE TRACK, AND I'M STILL COMING LESS
TRYINA CATCH MY BREATH BUT TOOK ALL I HAD
NOW I MISS YOUR BLUE EYES FIRST THING IN THE MORNING
FOOL THE ??, A GOODBYE KISS, SLAP YOU ON THE FOREHEAD
WE'LL BE AT THE CRACK OF DAWN,
BUT BOY I DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN
'CAUSE AT LEAST BACK
THEN LEAVING WAS A TEMPORARY THING!

'CAUSE YOU'RE THE GOOD TO MY BYE
THE TOM TO MY JERRY, THE DAY TO MY NIGHT
I'LL NEVER BE READY TO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO
AND TIME ISN'T LIKE US, IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS AND
I'LL NEVER GET TIRED OF WISHING' YOU WERE HERE,
I'LL NEVER LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO

EVERY LITTLE DETAIL SCREAMED AT ME
SAID DON'T YOU FALL TEMPORARY LOVE
YEAH THAT'S ALL IT WAS!
BUT I KNOW I'LL REMEMBER ALL THOSE TIMES TOGETHER
LONG NIGHTS, WE WERE TO STORM!
THIS CAN'T BE OOOOO-OOOO-OVER

'CAUSE YOU'RE THE GOOD TO MY BYE
THE TOM TO MY JERRY, THE DAY TO MY NIGHT
I'LL NEVER BE READY TO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO
AND TIME ISN'T LIKE US, IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS AND
I'LL NEVER GET TIRED OF WISHIN' YOU WERE HERE,
I'LL NEVER LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO
