Chess

It's amazing the way you can change me
From so far away
I miss you more now that I know you're happy
Isn't that cliche?
You make me feel like I conquered Goliath
In an ancient Rome
But, God, I love how I use this piano
Now that I'm alone

'Cause I've been dancing in this room by myself
I've been playing games of chess with my health
I've been missing you, if you couldn't tell
I'm here to tell you that I made up my mind
I took everything and you took your time
But I miss the way that life looks inside of your eyes
I've been waiting here for you, tonight

You're the reason I stare at the ceiling
When I'm all alone
'Tis the season and I quit the drinking
Will you come back home?
I've fought with angels and seen every angle
Of the setting sun
But if every time that I hear Blackbird, I lose it
Maybe you're the one

'Cause I've been dancing in this room by myself
I've been playing games of chess with my health
I've been missing you, if you couldn't tell
I'm here to tell you that I made up my mind
I took everything and you took your time
But I miss the way that life looks inside of your eyes
I've been waiting here for you, tonight
I've been waiting here for you, tonight
Waiting here for you

Dreams
Are tearing at the seams
I'm lost in what it means
Keep telling me
It all gets better
Time has thrown me to the tide
I'm flawed if by design
Keep telling me
It all gets better

And time has thrown me to the tide
I'm flawed if by design
Keep telling me
It all gets better

'Cause I miss the way that life looks inside of your eyes
