lyrics

who knows why we say the things we do
in the moment it seems true enough, true enough . . . but, wait
the intangible, the immeasurable weight
often leads us down the wrong road, and it’s suddenly too late
all the “I love you's” floating in the air,
should be strong enough to lift you up
from right there where you stand
but, maybe all of those said with too little care
just make the slightest breeze,
and leave you there, tethered to the land

so you should know, in all my life
I may have misjudged moments in the night
but not with you, not this time
I meant what I just said, yeah, I mean it
you are mine

oh how quickly we forget, how we walk away
and did we always know it, in our hearts, that we’d never stay?
was it one small thing, that you heard somebody say
that turned your world around,
and changed how you saw everything that day?
all of the energy wasted on the pain
should be strong enough to generate lightning in the sky
but, maybe no one ever channels it quite right
and it’s just strong enough to generate the redness in our eyes

so you should know, in all my life
I may have left before the time was right
but not with you, not this time
I'm here to stay, you know I'm never leaving
you are mine

white and black, the old photographs are just a road map
of where you've been
you can't go back to where you came from
that path has faded, there's just the space you're in
I took my time around the long way
but I have only ever had one place to go
by way of hope and love and jealousy and pain
I came to you . . .
and thought that you should know
I thought that you should know

yeah, you should know, in all my life
I may have left before the time was right
but not with you, not this time
I'm here to stay, you know I'm never leaving
so you should know, in all my life
I may have misjudged moments in the night
but not with you, not this time
I meant what I just said, yeah, I mean it
you are mine
