Under The Lights.

Under The Lights.

Never asked you out because I couldn’t think I’m good enough.

Wanted to be with you but I didn’t see a future for us,

But if you ever ask, I’ll hand my heart to you on a silver plate.

Never say never again because I need you and I to find a way.

We need to be away to realise just what it is we lost.

We’ll spend the rest of our lives just constantly counting the cost.

So if you see me walking alone down the street,

Come down and say hi and send some peace to me,

Because we could have been, but that’s another story.

A best seller, a mystery,

A book that just ain’t meant to be.

So listen to my tales but never look on me with your pity,

Because it’s not needed here, I have no need to be greedy,

I just want some peace and love for you, me and everybody.

I raise my voice to the Heavens,

Because you’ve always been a Goddess to me.

Just out of reach, but if I reach inside your heart,

I’m going to build myself a home and make you the best part.

I’ll be like a virus, I’ll infect your mind.

I’m never leaving unless your bleaching because you want me to die.

Before I die of old age I need to see you again.

I need your beauty in my life; you and I need to find a way,

Because what might have been is just a could have been fantasy.

I’m a dreamer in a dreamers world, a head full of mystery.

And a thousand questions need a thousand answers.

You and I played with words and lyres but never danced as dancers.

Never loved as lovers; we were just like a sister to a brother,

Just a man to a woman, just a stranger to another.

But you and I were always more than just that.

And if I had a second chance I take a shot at a romance.

I love the words you write.

I want to be part of your melody.

I want to see you tonight,

And let your truly see the best of me.

A wish upon the star, that you truly are.

I want you to come fetch me in your suped-up car,

And we’ll go fly the stars like were rocking on a rocket ship.

Never take offence at my desire,

Because you’re someone that I could never quit.

And if we ever make something begin again,

You and I will fly to space without the days being a shame.

We’ll go o’naturel every chance we get to be alone.

Your numbers on my telephone, speed dial, simply press one.

If I impress you dear, know that I need you here.

I need you to hear, that you are still right here.

In the centre of my mind and imprinted in my chest.

You make me feel bullet proof as you pass every single test.

So if you think about me in your wildest dreams,

Know I will never cause you nightmares because that just ain’t in me.

I’m just a kid from a small town who grew into a man.

I was no kid when we met but I was young and had a plan.

Going to find a wife, and maybe raise a kid.

You and I never made it but I truly wish we did,

Because I loved you then and I love you right now.

I guess there’s got to be a way that I could find you somehow,

But I can’t go searching for my sadly lost youth,

It was left behind and I’m just not destined to be with you.

So maybe in a next life we could find a way to be.

You and I could have been the greatest if I’d let you see,

What you needed in me was always there, it’s just hidden.

Couldn’t let you in because I was more than smitten,

And if I let you in I’d only hold you back,

Because you’re heading for new states,

And I’m happy where I am.

Just a small town boy with a bright light girl dreamer,

You and I would never make it,

But I could have handled your heart cleaner.

If I wiped away the tears and let you into my heart,

You and I could have been in love from the very start,

But I had this idea, just a notion of apocalypse.

The best of you, the worst of me, the boy, the man, the myth.

In my mixed up head I saw a piece of dirt,

And you were just a perfect sculpture of a chick that would hurt.

If I got with you, I know you’d leave me because you’re bored.

You would always keep me entertained and you would always be adored,

But you need Super Man and I’m a little underfed.

Just a little undernourished in my messed up head.

You’re the light I needed but I had no sunglasses,

You would look at me with loving eyes but I could never see past it,

Because the past haunted me so I made up excuses,

No it’s never going to happen she ain’t someone I get to be with,

She’s a Wonder Woman with a kindly heart,

And all I saw was a party girl shining love on my dark.

I still think the same, I’m not good enough,

See another woman walk away because I could not trust.

At the end of my life I’m going to have lots of regrets,

And every one of them will be, all the words I never said.

So to you I’m saying I love you, that’s still a fact.

I never said it to your face but I know you know my truths,

And I’m still sad.

There’s a missing piece in the centre of my heart,

It holds the memory of you,

Under Night Club Stars...
