Lyrics

[Hook] I think it's time for us to meet This is tongue in cheek We've been apart too long for me But I always feel so close, kid You must know you're such a tease But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet [Verse 1] So I told her I really feel like we'd have something special Already feel like I've known you forever Spent at least six years trying to get to know you better Though whenever I get close you seem to be someone else's Tell me, was it something that I said? Because I told you how I really felt? Seems to me, most of these other boys Want you with some hollow words But I honestly believe we were put here for something else Can you imagine all the things we'd achieve? All the mountains we could move just between you and me? Instead, we're caught at war between the Capulets and Montagues The nagging self-doubt that's telling me to move on from you But I swear that I don't want to So I'm clinging to the hope that a real dose of honesty Might be enough to jam my foot in this door And force it open long enough to show 'em what they want from me [Pre-Chorus] But they don't wanna talk about it They got no more time So I just sit here waiting [Hook] I think it's time for us to meet This is tongue in cheek We've been apart too long for me But I always feel so close, kid You must know you're such a tease But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet I know there's other boys But I still feel you're in my reach But whenever I get close you leave like shimmers in my sleep Your whispers in the breeze, but you're no closer to me But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet [Verse 2] So she told him This ain't the time I never said just take a ticket and form a line I know you're mine But I got my own records to knock out before I shine So if I'm supposed to stand next to you How I stand for my own thing too? But winning means distance Distance means pain So wait till I'm ruling the world 'fore we meet again But I can't take the distance You're always out of reach, and it never makes a difference I spend my whole life waiting on decisions From people who don't understand the change that we could bring them Well, I'd hate for us to lose independence If you have me now you can have me forever It's not just about us any more, it's for the family And everything we'd do if I could just make you stand by me [Pre-Chorus] But they don't wanna talk about it They got no more time So I just sit here waiting [Hook] I think it's time for us to meet This is tongue in cheek We've been apart too long for me But I always feel so close, kid You must know you're such a tease But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet I know there's other boys But I still feel you're in my reach But whenever I get close you leave like shimmers in my sleep Your whispers in the breeze, but you're no closer to me But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet [Outro] I swear it's tearing me apart Knowing I might never see your face again, my love But if I don't, at least I'll know That I deserved you from the start Said, if I don't, at least I'll know That I deserved you from the start Said, if I don't, at least I'll know That I deserved you from the start
