building and burning
creating and slaving
tourture and madness
loveless and leaning
please turn around
i stare at the back of your head everyday
and all i can do is hope your a good person
and one day i'd get to see that
if you'd just turn around.

i could create a world for you
or we could explore the one we're given
we could explore each other
if you would turn to look at me
during the ride home
maybe just one second
and we could say how much we hate the song on the radio but we think the other one likes it
or we could sing to the ones we do like
instead of feeling so shy

i'd give you my soul
if you'd leave her
we could stay up for hours like forever ago
or i could constantly feel so helpless to our thought process
and know i'm different
and it'll never be

i'd change my faith for you
because you changed me
and that night you changed my heart
i can only wish i knew how to change it back
you can't look me in the eyes anymore
i wish we could speak.
i wish too many things.

you'd be my everything
if you'd just change
and say your sorry
and i'll give you everything
the moment you ask me to
but you'd never turn around
to tell me what you really mean.

words are so hard to come by
my life just flips forward
next reel
next scene
over and over

rhyme scheme used to rule me
and i hear it for the first time
and realize how long i've over looked
ever little detail
that would have made me happy
