Something Sad

(t. b. schmit)

I spend all my time searching up and down
Looking for some other way
Every now and then I will turn around
Just to find that it's a new day

Why am I afraid to be standing here
Turning my face to the wall
How can I believe that you're really there
When I don't even know you at all

I'll keep trying to make it through
No matter what you say
I'm a fool who still loves you
Bring me a brighter day

Oh there's something sad about it baby
I take it slow
But then everyday I get in my own way
That's how it goes

My heart wants to follow you everywhere
But I try to draw the line
I'm standing in the shade of a blue affair
Hoping it will work out in time

Baby all I want from you is a simple chance
Just enough time to explore
We could put an end to this song and dance
It doesn't have to be such a chore

In this world full of danger
All we can do is try
Maybe we won't be strangers
Keep my love alive

Oh there's something sad about it baby
I take it slow
But then everyday I get in my own way
That's how it goes

Deep in the night I dream we're together
Nothing can do me wrong
But then I wake up and find you're really no there
Like a singer without a song

Oh there's something sad about it baby
I take it slow
But then everyday I get in my own way
That's how it goes

Oh there's something sad about it baby...
