These Pages

Oh, there you are
It's so good to see you
It's so good to see you
Standing right at my door
I wish you could stay

Well, how's your girlfriend?
How's that going?
She never liked me
Oh I wish you could stay

It might be an ordinary day
But it seems like more than that to me..

Lines of my forehead
From trying to thread the needle of this idea
Without letting you know it

If you said I could
I'd throw the maps right out the window
Take the longest way home

So I change the subject
And I put on my best smile
So you won't notice
So you won't notice what's wrong

So don't you ask me
No please don't ask me
'cause I don't dare tell you
Exactly what's on my mind

It might be an ordinary day
But it seems like more than that to me...

I've gathered these pages
Of words left unspoken
Letters I didn't send you
Would fall right from my fingers

If you said I could
Put my hands where I want to
Set fire to the bedroom

If you said I could
Put it all out on the table
Throw the maps right out the window...

Oh there you are
It's so good to see you
It's so good to see you
I wish you could stay
