Falstaff

I know, if I had a choice
I might find the courage and find my voice

and find the note that brings it all in sync
but find myself staring at the mirror over the sink

Another day and my energy is spent
find another job and pay the rent

why cant people be happy with just who they are
why do we find ourselves so lonely and we find happiness in our car

counting streetlights and lingering at the light
we all seem to be out on this hot june night.

just enough for a sandwich and a drink
a few brief moments and time to think

how did I get here and where am I going
must find a home before it starts snowing

twenty years ago, I never thought about living
so many years of taking, somehow I wish i could be giving

fantasy takes me to day I first met you
the first embrace and the first kiss, I can never forget you

now I linger on the edge of the shadows of the days gone past
and wonder somehow where you are, if we ever tried to make it last

where ever you are somehow I go with you
and what we really meant and believed I know somehow is still true.

No matter how much we change, we still find a reason to stay the same
somehow after all the years without you, I still find happiness just saying your name.

but then, we have travelled down roads that have no name
and somehow if you asked me, I would do it all again.

Goodnight my dear, and I swallow another before I go to bed
it was always you I wanted to sing and the song still plays loudly in my head.
