We've all got a past
And these ghosts are holding us back.
I listened to your message over and over again,
Thought about how I let you down,
Thought about who I am.
I felt hopeless, I got caught up in this life,
I'm such a mess,
I wonder how I look through your eyes.
We've all got a past.
Baby, take your time,
Stop and see, for once in your life,
The things you're missing out on.
I look out on the city lights,
Wonder where you are tonight.
So much that I want to say,
Will you ever let me?
And if I pour my heart out,
Do you want the truth?
Yeah, I pour my heart out,
I at least owe that to you.
Baby, take your time,
Stop and see, for once in your life,
The things you're missing out on.
Like me, like me and the sunshine,
The summer's almost over,
We're running out of time.
I at least owe that to you.
Open up your eyes, (There's so much I have to say, will you ever let me?)
I'm right in front of you. (There's so much I have to say, will you ever let me?)
It's too cold for June,
How come only hear from you when you're liquored up?
I've heard all about the others,
And this side of you that you discovered
This summer.
