'Cause I was lost on an open road when you sent something to me. I couldn't hold it in my shaking hands, it was awful hard to see. But the weight that hung around my neck, it was lifted, I was free.
We have to walk, I know it hurts. But we can take our time cause it gets worse. 'Cause this world's mean, but count on me. And I'll be every little thing that you need me to be.
If everyone here can look up under the seat. We've all been giving the gift but the gift's not for me. If you open the box so everybody can see. It's a fast ticking clock sitting down at your feet.
Sometimes I say things I don't mean. Like it all feels like a dream. It's like someday I'll get caught. Like this is someone I am not. I just open my mouth and the words come out.
So what else did I miss? We were staring at the stars. We'd wonder if there is a world out there and is staring back at ours. She leans in for the kiss and then it sent me straight to Mars.
And please bring me down from this awful suspense. And tell me about everything that I've missed. 'Cause I'm wasting time every second not kissed. By this girl that I've found who keeps hope on her lips.
'Cause Adam, let me tell you a little something about life. She's a pretty little mistress with hearts for eyes. You want to hold on, but not too tight.
I would like to take this time to thank you all. For not leaving me behind when I was small. 'Cause when I felt all alone without hope of my own. So many left me behind I felt I'd been outgrown.
You were sitting on the back porch singing sad songs when you took my heart away. I was looking like a good knight on a white horse riding in to save the day.
