Lyrics 41 - Cosmic Kid

The streetlights lit the way to your house
And with a racing heart these feet were slow on the pavement
Forgive my Freshman knees
They still couldn′t stand to believe that your pen is wasting time on my skin

I was two steps ahead, been living like I was three steps behind
If only I could read the signs

And now I'm neck deep in wasted chances
Those little memories of you are haunting me
Over and over, over and over
The sunset color finds me thinking about
Those what-could-have-beens if only I was a bit more consistent
A little bit more, just a little bit more
And is it safe to say that I′m too late 'cause I wish I wasn't
Wish this wasn′t the end
"Superman" please call me "Volleyboy" again

Now all I read are my mistakes illustrated as these blank pages at four in the morning
I′d sleep but it doesn't take the missed opportunities away
It just feels like a waste of time

Because these lazy afternoons and pointless conversations held something alive
There was something more for me behind that smile

You told your friends about me
And that′s telling enough
Been putting blame in place of bravery, here's still hoping my time aint′ up
You told your friends about me
And that's telling enough
Been putting blame in place of bravery just to convince myself to get up
