lyrics

A crooked smile,
Caught inside the corner of my eye
Across the room
From where I thought I saw her looking at me there.

Perhaps my chance
Is purely misconstrued and happenstance
Please don't mistake
Coincidence for what is surely not our fate.

If I could ever make my way into your heart,
I'd find an empty place where I could be a part.

Head over heels,
Exposed and self-aware so I concealed
As I surmised it best
To veil my naive feelings from her eyes.

And now I find
I must have been the last thing on her mind,
But I don't mind.
I'd rather be the last on call than not at all.

If I could ever find a way into your head
Then I might finally say the things I wish I'd said.

I was confused,
A rookie in this game that we call love.
So I struck out
And missed the signs you left to let me know the score.

I'll never know
Just what may have transpired, even though
We've since found love
Among the ashes of the bridges we had burned.

If I could ever find a way into your head,
Then I might finally hear the things you left unsaid.
