lyrics

In a haze
Stretching months, stretching years
I was weak in the knees for you
Call it love, call it awe, all over
I need you, I feel you
But you never looked twice

For a time I could not even look
Because it hurt knowing you weren't for me
Like a man, colorblind in a rainbow world
If only
If only you'd forget I was me
You'd forget I was me

When I pulled up the nerve to say hi
You seemed kind
You seemed right for me
But it's not
In myself
To be brazen
He's perfect, he's perfect
How could I ever want to break that
How could I ever want to take that
How could I ever be for you

But somehow it worked out
We began saying hi, saying more
Till that day
I confessed, you confessed, and so on
I loved you, I loved you
Such a beauty had the world
Such a wonder had life
Such a beauty had the world
Such a wonder had life

Now you're gone
Over land, over seas
And I find that sometimes I go
Catch a plane in my sleep to find you
He's older
I'm older
How'd the world change so much
How'd the world change so much
How'd the world change so much
How'd the world
How'd the world changes fast/first
