The Real You

(album: Before We Met: A Collection Of Old Songs - 2010)

This faded picture shows that time has passed by far to fast.
I should have known.
Turn off the radio, roll down the windows. Drive me home slow.

Where were all the things you stand behind
when you needed someone to stand behind?
I feel like I'm done here
I feel like I'm done here

You never failed to glow I never failed to show
you say the word and I'll move faster.
I knew from the get-go you were in it to win it,
but now I lay here a loser and no ones winning.
And you were never too late, too slow to start,
to take advantage of a boy with a broken heart
who kept trying hard...

Where were all the things you stand behind
when you needed someone to stand behind?

In reverie I see the real you.
Come home tonight and we can make something out of my life.
In reverie I see the real you.
Come home tonight. Maybe I'll find you some...

Where were all the things you stand behind
when you needed someone to stand behind?
(When you need someone, you need some work...)
