I know how to play the game
And I know the ways to your core.
I know how to win the name
And I know the ways to score.
I know the seat of my place,
And I just know what you're here for.
I know how to act insane,
And I know that you'll ask for more
I can fill your loveless nights
With my bountiful endless sights,
And I can trail around the world
To whisper a piece of my word.
I can gait through these endless miles,
And I can teach you ways to fly.
And I can see the look in your eyes
When I ask you if you were mine.
But I can't leave out the sadder part--
I can't bleed the gap between our hearts.
I've come too close to let myself fall;
I wouldn't do this if it's not worth it all
I've given my time, I've lost my sense of rhyme.
I'm torn apart inside, but still I can't decide.
Can't I leave you? Wouldn't it be better to choose--
To say good bye to what's big enough to chew?
But you're just as good as a summer's day;
The warmth will leave when you go away.
You bid the world with only words to say;
The seas to part to pave for your way
Tell me, how could I ask for more
When there's nothing more to ask for?
The way your hands speak for you so
Tell me, how could I let this one go?
