Crazy

The night lingers for as long as you would On mine mind, back and forth, with my eyes closed, You and those eyes, how uneasy I feel, I kept wishing you'd stay longer, and voila, you're here In my head, you're there when you're not around, My special friend, you come over and we paint the town red Or blue, I love you, pains wishing I could tell you the truth, I keep on saying stupid things, but I'd rather stop and do nothing, I'll fare just fine looking at you, You said, "Let's swim and play with the waves", Should have "I hope they're strong, I'll be ready and waiting To help you right up should they knock you down", Or something like that, I wished I was charming, The line playing over and over in my head, would've said it but didn't, Wondering if I'll have the chance to say it again, though I doubt it. All good things end, (I hate that being with you is so awesome!) I got all teary eyed wishing we never ever had to say... "Goodbye", dammit, you said it (how I wished you'd stay!) Alas, I know that it's hopeless, failed to tell you how I feel And so farewell and thanks, at least you gave me a reason... To over-think, that is, of all those things unsaid, And what should be fine wine sunsets with peaceful thoughts of you Turn to crass old beer I'd-drown-the-sad-thoughts-in-my-head 'Til I'd pass out and wake up to the same sad story - That I'm here, you're away, and I cannot forget, Regret - it's been driving me crazy.
