Verse
 		  	          		       	     
Well I sat down next to a photograph,   tried my best almost made her laugh
 			       		      	         
She was my toughest crowd.   There in the way was a mountain up in the clouds

 		     	            	              
  Well I can’t sleep and I’m not in love, and I can’t speak without messing up
 		  	   		            		  
Eyes tell of what’s behind.  Her’s showed the way to a long and a lonely 
			    	      		          	     
climb.    But through failure I’ll proceed.  She’ll see how far I’ve come
        		    		     /	  
And it’s you and me in the sun and sea. I’ll offer my heart to Yours
    		   		/	     
It seems to me, no mystery, it isn’t so I’ll try hard to speak

Verse2
 		  	           	          	 
Well I sat down next to a living hell, tried my best until I struck out
 	    	    	       		   	   
Movement is not mine, I stood in the way, pretending that I was the vine
		 	         		 	     	    	
     But no failure would proceed, from a mouth that drinks its wine
        		   	    /	        
And it’s not me, not my sanctity, these aren’t my words to you
     			  		 /	     
It’s all clear when its not here, so clear, so I’ll try not to speak
