a thousand words that you should hear
'cause you're nothing less than perfect for me
my head in my hands
our toes beneath the sand
I'd give anything to see you happy

things are getting better
just give me one more chance to say this
and we'll see what changes
a different town a different school
just promise you'll stay cool
together we will get you through this

your brilliant stare
concentrating
all eyes on you
when everything's in focus
you'll remember the one who wrote this
and you'll see
he'd do anything for you

staring at your picture I'm pretending that you're here
as the subtle silence seems to kill me
remembering the day just before you went away
how can she leave
how can she leave when there's still lots more to see

know that we are stronger
because of everything we've gone through
and I'm hung up on you
so take this drink with me tonight
I promise that you'll be all right
let me drink a dream with you
