[Intro Sparrow] I know theres a place I swear it isnt that far away And if theres a time and place for everything I just pray theres another way there than yesterday Its the one thing that I can say without any hesitation And thats all I can say without tainting it No matter how many layers Ive created I still cant shroud something thats unmistakable And I wont weather this and just let it wither away Because its true, whether or not I ever tell you anyway So, dont shoot the messenger I just wanna let you know its there But dont tell me Im just over exaggerating this because... [Verse 1 Sparrow] Its not a figment of my imagination Its got a bottomless pit But in the best possible way But unless Ive got someway to offer All of the good that it contains All it does is haunt me Each and every single day Its been too long since I saw your face Youve gone and Ive stood in one place You probably thought of me on occasion But I promise Ive thought of you More than I ever wanna say You might not believe it is this way And I can promise you I often wished it werent the case But I gotta be honest with myself Or else Ill just end up going insane I know Ive got something great to offer But I only have one place where I can deposit it And I just want this awesome gift within me To be the positive thing it can be Instead of my own worst enemy Out to get, from within me Im sorry, I wanted to move on I dont want to be a bother But something always stops me Every time I start to walk away And just when i think im on my way I wake up feeling the same thing saying [Hook Sparrow] Ive got a thing for you Got no better way to say it I wont waste another minute So, Im just gonna say it Ive still got a thing for you So sick of playing games Knowing Im just wasting days Till I finally just say it So now you know Ive still got a thing for you [Verse 2 Sparrow] Over time I slowly stopped tying to fight it Because I know its great Even if I cant know if itll ever have its day Even if it goes to waste Even if I dont get a say Even if I must take it with me to my grave Im not letting go until I no longer feel Whatevers been tugging on the other end Until Ive dried every brush bristle I can find As I try to paint the perfect portrait of everything That words cannot describe Of a gift from the divine But feels more like a curse today Cause I couldnt give it away if I tried its permanent So Ive taken what I was given, and Im working with it Trying to make the best of it By using it as a utensil to write this And I hope that it finds a way to you A way to make a mark Portrays a love you cant erase I cant turn off And has never changed And that would still be the case Even if Id never made em playable Let you hear me say these words Thatve been beating me over the head Repeating themselves ever since you left And Im sorry if Im screaming But its tough to hear yourself speak When all you do is think Sometimes all of the monotony makes me wanna break it Sometimes Im afraid its gonna break me Sometimes I appreciate it Sometimes Im thankful it wont ever break Sometimes I think I may be going crazy But theres never been a time I didnt know who I was crazy for And I just wanna know that you know that [Hook Sparrow x2]
