Sounds Better in the Song (Remixed / Remastered)

[Verse 1]
When I saw her standing there
With her bright eyes and shining hair, she was looking back at me
Some are meant to sing
Some are meant to talk, and some aren't meant to say a thing
But when she opened up her mouth and that sweet voice came out
I lost track of my own name
Now she's found herself, and I lost mine
And I'm just another guy who can't give her anything

[Verse 2]
Well, the drifter, he holds on to his youth
Just like it was money in the bank
And "Lord knows I can't change" sounds better in the song
Than it does with hell to pay
I might as well have slipped that ring on her finger
From a window of a van as it drove away
'Cause now she's found herself, and I lost mine
And I'm just another guy who can't give her anything

[Verse 3]
Well, dreams are given to you when you're young enough to dream 'em
Before they can do you any harm
They don't start to hurt unless you try to hold on to 'em
After seeing what they really are
She used to dream 'em with me, every single crazy one
'Til they started hurtin' her too, now she's got some of her own
And outgrowing me might be the best thing for her she's ever done

[Verse 4]
A light that's meant to shine as bright as hers can't be kept in the shadows for too long
A heart that wants to live
And a soul that wants to give can't just sit at home alone
Lord, she gave me everything, I never wanted anything
I couldn't give just what was inside of me
Now she's found herself, and I lost mine
And I'm just another guy who can't give her anything
Now she's found herself, and I lost mine
And I'm just another guy who can't give her anything
