It’s been a while since I drove a car
‘cause I believe you’d see me coming from afar
It’s been a while since I played a song
‘cause when I do I get the chords wrong
It’s been a while since I told a lie
‘cause I get nervous every single time I try
It’s been a while since I tried to swim
and for a while I’ve been avoiding him
I can imagine how it would evolve
if I could win him, this puzzle to solve
but I would not believe it, I would stop and stare
throwing confetti and my hands in the air
For a while I’ve been chasing highs
and casting sorrows aside when they arise
It sure feels good to know, without a doubt
that if he’s sad and needs a laugh, I’ll help him out
So I know what I want to say to him
I’m what he needs, but I don’t know where to begin
What if he knows, but doesn’t need me there
so I’m avoiding what I fear to hear
I can imagine how it would evolve
if I could win him, this puzzle to solve
but I would not believe it, I would stop and stare
throwing confetti and my hands in the air
Yeah, I would sing to the world
of how possessed you can feel when it burns
I tell my friends to not be shy
so I’m gonna take this piece of wood out of my eye
It’s been a while since I heard his voice
I saw his face and held his hand and made a choice
I’m what you need, I said, I’ll do you good
and he responded: I don’t love you like I should
He cast a shadow in the August light
Drifted away, just like my pride, right out of sight
I see him sometimes, now and then
and if I could, I’d tell him once again
I can imagine how it would evolve
if I could win him, this puzzle to solve
but I would not believe it, I would stop and stare
throwing confetti and my hands in the air
I can imagine ah ah ah
I would not believe it ah ah ah
I can imagine ah ah ah
I would not believe it
