I waited for you through embarassment and fear
Through the hurt of never having, but oh so near
I waited so long I didnt know that it was wrong
Now I'm just as weak as I once were strong

I reached out for you ‘til my fingers fell numb
I added up the parts but never figured out the sum
Until I let go of common sense and myself
Now I try to reach for someone else

Chorus
I was not the one to go home
When the party was over
I was not the one to give out or give in
When you were in the house

I stretched out so far that I some time had to break
By feeling nothing but how to fake
And so I embraced the pure vision of it all
The pretty little things you see in a fall
