We keep going back and forth I am tired of playing tennis Tell me if you really want this I can’t keep putting you first I wish we had the same thirst I am tired of being third How long will we play Before one of us flees Because someone always leaves This time I don’t want to go I don’t ever want to be your foe I want to stay with you You have your walls high Never giving too much That’s why we’re out of touch Out of sight but not out of mind You know I wish you were mine And not someone else’s dime Your heart has space for one I know she’s the one for you I wish that could be undone It is never the right time for us I wish I could trust and not fuss But I know this is all superfluous If you ever love again I want to be her I hope this waiting isn’t in vain.

We keep going back and forth I am tired of playing tennis Tell me if you really want this I can’t keep putting you first I wish we had the same thirst I am tired of being third How long will we play Before one of us flees Because someone always leaves This time I don’t want to go I don’t ever want to be your foe I want to stay with you You have your walls high Never giving too much That’s why we’re out of touch Out of sight but not out of mind You know I wish you were mine And not someone else’s dime Your heart has space for one I know she’s the one for you I wish that could be undone It is never the right time for us I wish I could trust and not fuss But I know this is all superfluous If you ever love again I want to be her I hope this waiting isn’t in vain.
I know you loved her deeply, I wish you could love in the same way. I tell myself that I won't make a fool of myself, but my heart only beats for you.
