I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright They say, "I don't know" And what once was ours is no one's now.
There I was again tonight Forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place Walls of insincerity Shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your face All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you.
The lingering question kept me up 2 AM, who do you love? I wonder till I'm wide awake And now I'm pacing back and forth Wishing you were at my door I'd open up and you would say 'hey'
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon I was enchanted to meet you Please, don't be in love with someone else Please, don't have somebody waiting on you Please, don't be in love with someone else Please, don't have somebody waiting on you.
The tricky thing is yesterday we were just children Playing soldiers, just pretending Dreaming dreams with happy endings In backyards winning battles with our wooden swords But now we've stepped into a cruel world Where everybody stands to keep score.
So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard Every lesson forms a new scar They never thought you'd make it this far But turn around, they've surrounded you It's a showdown, and nobody comes to save you now But you've got something they don't Yeah you've got something they don't You've just gotta keep your eyes open.
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall I've found that time can heal most anything And you just might find who you're supposed to be I didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen...
