Well I guess this is where I left my life
    
And all its operations
                                   
And I know that I will never get this twice
     
With all negotiations
                                               
This feels like the place between what is and might have been
                                   
So I guess this is where we both find out
    
If this was meant to be

                                
And I’ll tell myself, I don’t need you
            
I’ll tell myself enough to get me through
                                                             
But I’ll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
           
If you can take a little more

                                      
Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue
         
When you said you’d never get tired of the boy
                                   
That seemed to be so far from growing up
    
But we were different then
                                                     
This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way

                                
And I’ll tell myself, I don’t need you
            
I’ll tell myself enough to get me through
                                                             
But I’ll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day
           
If you can wait a little more

     
     
                 

                  
This feels like the time that I’m ready for you
              
Are you ready for me


                                  
‘Cause I’ll tell myself I’ll make it through
                 
I’ll tell myself anything to get over you
                             
And I won’t blame you but I’m finally ready to show you
                               
That I’m ready to show you, I’m ready to show you, yeah
                                                     
I’ll tell myself that I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway

I need you now

I need you now
         
I'm ready now
