Should I play my hand or should I take it slow?
I've probably told you more than you should know
I tried my best to show that I was wise
I'd always guessed that you would see through my disguise
'Cause in my mind I would try to review
All of the times I was talking to you
A search for something to show you would give it a try
I just had to know what it would lead to
I always kept an eye out for a kind
You could call them nothing but truly good finds
Was it helpful that I had been known?
Or was it something I should have left well alone
'Cause at the time I never knew
And all the while I thought it was you
I was not lying when I said we'd give it a try
I just had to know what it would lead to
Don't mistake the loud for the wise
We had a chance to open our eyes
These expectations we uphold
It's no wonder we feel so old
A vision of stories I had yet to write
Stood like a beacon in the dark of night
And gone were the things that I had felt before
With silent surrender I could finally end the war
'Cause deep inside something grew
And I had found what I needed to do
I was not joking when I said I'd give it a try
Because you know I like to see things through
