lyrics

We used to hang 'round in the lobby at school
Most others would stay away
We tried to figure out why we weren't as cool
As others, lead others astray

Letters, phone calls they come once in a while
As wonder still plagues these days
Oh what would I say if I'd see you today?
Just knowing why you strayed away

But if I can't prepare for you now
There's trouble
When there's no free will
Life's a verse just out of key
And I think this is why we all dream

I still have the t-shirt that you gave me back when
You knew you were skipping town
Come sit next to me you don't have to leave
But I know I can't keep you around

I heard you'd been raped and you couldn't tell me
That last kiss had us both nearly drown
But you've come out on top
I admire your strength
As I sit and write this all down

But if I can't prepare for you now
There's trouble
When there's no free will
Life's a verse just out of key
And I think this is why we all dream
