Saying things I don't believe And your love casts it's shadow on the things I do And I can hear so clearly, all the words I'd wish I'd said You're stuck in my head But I only think of you Will we be together soon? I'm thrown to the wayside You're planted in my mind But I don't wanna be ok without you

Do you wanna step out in the daylight? The leaves and the fallen trees Baby, I'm thinkin' that it's alright If you're here standing next to me Remember the times we had together? In your eyes, they last forever Baby, in the daylight The daylight You're all I see And how come she never said "I think I feel something again"? Oh yeah Why would you tell me that you're all mine? The feelings are hard to pretend Baby, in the daylight, yeah I don't know who I wanna be But when I'm standing in the moonlight with you And you tell me, "It's okay to be blue" I remember the times we had together And I know the blue won't last forever But in the daylight The daylight You're all I see And how come she never said "I think I feel something again"? Why would you tell me that you're all mine? The feelings are hard to pretend, yeah And if your love is secondhand You'll be using me over again How could you think that it was all a lie? It's something that I couldn't pretend Wanna be what I want, but I'm feelin' small Hold onto to you, but I wanted to be And nothin' ever gonna come between me and my love, oh You are what I want Tell me again
