It occured to me
As things are slowing down
That it's always
Much better when you're around,
And it's slowly turning me
Upside down,
Upside down,
Upside down - wait

You can be who you want to
You can see who you want to
And there's nothing i can tell you now,
Except:
I'm always thinking of you
Even if i don't want to
In more ways than i can count

Cuz i didn't mean to let you go,
Should've been the first one to let you know
Oh change your mind,
And let me slide just one more time
It doesn't have to be this way
We could stop fighting and wake up in your place
Or, i could go, leave it to chance
And just let this go go on...

And when we're in the future,
And "now" is a million miles away,
Will we start to reconsider
What now belongs to yesterday?
This whole life is moving fast for me,
Is it for you the same?
And do you dream?
And when you do, do you wake up saying my name?

You can be who you want to
And you can see who you want to
And there's nothing i can tell you now,
Except:
That i'm always thinking of you
And even when i don't want to
In more ways than i can count

Cuz i didn't mean to let you go,
Should've been the first one to let you know
Oh change your mind,
And let me slide just one more time
And, it doesn't have to be this way
We could stop fighting and wake up in your place
Or, i could go,
Leave it to chance
And just let it go, let it go
Yeah yeah

Cuz, we were only children, still deciding who to be,
I remember following you
Hoping you'd look back at me
But then a band became my life,
And you heard california's nice,
And then we got older like people do
But i didn't mean to let you go.
