Girl

I have never been that clever,
Never been that strong,
Never been much of a planner,
I made it up as I went along.

I’ve never been much of a sinner,
Never been much of a saint,
There’s a lot of things that I am,
There’s some things that I ain’t.

I got a lousy sense of direction,
I never know where I am,
I never know where I’m heading,
But I’m doing the best I can.

I took a chance, I don’t do that much,
I got to see you again,
Pushed my pride deep in my pocket,
And let you under my skin.

And I felt the new day waking,
I felt the grass under my feet,
I felt the cool breeze on my face,
And I can’t get back to sleep.
I felt this fire raging,
I felt this beating heart,
I felt you deep in my veins,
And then we fell apart.

Laying in bed, it’s 3am,
Just staring at the wall,
Not really awake, not really asleep,
Not really anything at all.

You’re the face I see when I turn out the light,
The calming voice when I’m alone,
The first thing that I think of,
The place that I call home.

When daylight fades mistakes made,
Rattle around in my head,
It’s not a tragedy, what’s meant to be,
But I’m sorry for what I said.

The minutes come but quickly go,
What’s left is a distant memory,
But I’m grateful for the time we had,
And I guess that’s enough for me.

And I felt the new day waking,
I felt the grass under my feet,
I felt the cool breeze on my face,
And I can’t get back to sleep.
I felt this fire raging,
I felt this beating heart,
I felt you deep in my veins,
And then we fell apart.

I have never been that clever,
I have never been that strong,
Never been much of a planner,
That might be where I went wrong.
