My dad tells me
That you aren't "the one"
And that somewhere deep down
I know that's true
But he's got it backwards
Because its somewhere deep down
That I wish it weren't true for me

When something about you
Regarding me, and us
Is supposed like that,
I am intrigued
Like a shadow, in my peripheral
I do a double-take
And swing back around to it

If anyone else can believe
That you aren't the one for me
Why can't I do so?
I want to know how
To come to that conclusion
I want to rewrite my beliefs
I want to write you out of them

You had never done much wrong
You never gave me less than love
But we still ended up apart
And it doesn't sit right with my heart
To wonder if that girl you work with
Is your "the one" instead of me
Or any girl for that matter

I don't know how to move on
When deep down somewhere
I believe we are each other's fates
I don't want to move on
Just as much as I do
It begs the question,
"Is this how I know our love is true?"

But that doesn't make sense
I think love might be felt in bones
I think it might be safe and secure
I think it might be obvious
So, is that my answer?
The fact I don't know how to feel
Is how I know?

I'm so wishy-washy
I'm so back and forth...
Is this how you felt
When our love had run its course?
I wish you'd come home
I wish I could go home
But I wish to forget home too
