lyrics

Nobody chooses to fall in love, it just happens.
It’s not a head thing, it’s a heart thing, dammit.
I’d never choose to go through this hell, no,
I’d never want it without someone else.

I just went on a ride by myself.
Once again, a ride by myself.
I just went on a ride by myself
and I’m coasting to a stop.
I can’t wait, I can’t wait to get off.

I thought she’d notice I lost seven pounds in one week,
or how I bit my tounge each time I tried to speak.
Don’t want to scare her, I can’t let on, no.
But by now, any idiot would know...

I just went on a ride by myself...

I only had one chance.
I gave it my best try,
and you told me goodbye
and walked out in the rain.

And I’ve been thinking ‘bout what I said,
and how it differed from what you heard,
and how I might have used different words,
and how things might have changed

If I could only explain,
if you would only listen.
I would show you my heart
and you would see what you were missin’.
If I could only explain,
if you would only hear me,
maybe you’d understand
and you would want to be near me.

You said I was cocksure.
You said I had no doubt,
and that left you no outs.
But that’s not how I feel.
’Cause I’m not sure about nothin’,
except these feelings I’m having,
and this hope that keeps stabbing
that maybe this is real

If I could only explain...

I can’t wait ‘til my socks match again,
and I can’t wait ‘til I’m nice to my friends again.
I’m just waiting for my whole world to stop spinning
round and round and round…
’til my feet touch the ground.
