Lincoln Avenue Tab

I know that this is not totally accurate but it's as much as I could figure, so here it is.

==============
Lincoln Avenue
==============

                                
Well I guess that 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 that 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
            
I need you now
           
I need you now
          
I'm ready now
