They set their expectation
She said "boy, are you mistaken"
"Just watch me" drive through the picket line

They said she couldn't do it
She'd say ain't nothing to it
"Just watch me" walking straight into the sky

We have been here before
On the hospital floor
I'll be sleeping right there next to you

You know that we're all scared
That you won't know we're there
Because you can't open your eyes like you do

Can you hear me?
Do you know I'm here?
Can you feel me?
When I whisper in your ear?
I'm here
I'm here

They say wait
Oh wait for me
She can't wait
She's got somewhere to be

Can you hear me?
Do you know I'm here?
Can you feel me?
When I whisper in your ear?
She's gone
She's gone

I know you hates these kinds of songs
The ones with sentiment that make you cringe
But how else can I say what you mean?

You deserved the freedom you always craved
Driving all alone down an open highway

Independence

You never wanted anyone's help
And you never asked
But sometimes we have to depend on people we don't want to need
Sometimes you even have to say please

It's not me, it's you
I know that excuse
When you're the one before the one
You're the coach, not the prize
You teach a man to fish and you've fed him for his life
You teach a man to love, you've prepared him for his wife

And that's great
And that's fine
They deserve a happy life
But why wasn't I
Good enough for you to try?

I'm not sure I want to see inside your head
But how else will I understand?
Was it something I said
Or did you just change your mind again?
Somehow our lives disaligned
After all the times I kept you alive
Somehow I was left behind
But then here you are in front of me
And you have ruined my day
I doodle your name all over the sky
And hope to god, away you'll fly

I know you're gone
And I know you'll try
But I'm not the type
People wait on

You believe in me
You know the secrets I keep
The faith I have in you
I wish I could see it in me

I can't blame it on missing you
Although I want to
But I'm still sad
How am I still sad?

I try to blame it on missing you
But then I have you for a day or two
And I'm still sad
Maybe I'm just sad
