You Probably Didn'T Catch His Name

No bias, no compassion, no tracks laid down Grown up, ran over, the signs are still around The space a vacant complex where we once stood To go back, to remember, I want so much for you The would've, the should've, you could We cut the tall trees down with no look to the future Not to those we love or the ones we create To tread on cold feet, no fire in sight The dusk fades and the blackness turns to night this is a bullshit battle this shouldn't even be a fight Put me up, far away, in a special "place" Just come with me, we will run away Now is now and the past shouldn't always be something we hate to bad we never got the chance at that first date I've learned how about you? Now that we've all started over anew I can be that idol, i can be that man Hold tightly, close your eyes, and give me your hand Everyone a pick up when they are down I can be there you know i can listen Just for one night, come dance with me, I'll show you what you're missing I'm not a band-aid and certainly not a cure But I've a heart of gold, and my intentions are pure I've been bled just as you've been before I hope it's the last, i cant stand it looking away, and locking the door Stand up lets go, I'm giving all of me to you Don't make me say the twice, for you there's not a thing i wouldn't do I threw it away, the liquid courage the false hope smoke No sorrows to drown it, just a clear, open road Now is the time for change, just let me know when your ready when you want to pick up and go. This whisper, i seal to you my promise, The funny thing is I'm not going to push you, i just really hope you notice
