don’t scream, don’t cry, there’s too many tears
like a lake around this place after all these years
been through more than our fair share
but we’re both here, still standing there
we made it this far and there’s more to come
from the beat of my heart to the beat of the drum
and the shoe box of memories means more to me
than any argument could ever be

at the end of the day am I what you waited for
how can I say that I need you more and more and more
years go by and it’s just the same old war
what we have is still worth fighting for, what are we fighting for

don’t walk, just run, come over to me
everything that we were, we still could be
tear down the walls that are in the way
we can start all over, it’s a brand new day
when the sun comes up, we’ll look back and laugh
nevermind the numbers I can do the math
multiply everyone that I’ve ever known
you’re the only one that feels like home

I painted a picture of a boy that was trying
and a girl that was smiling and she looked just like you

at the end of the day am I what you waited for
how can I say that I need you more and more and more
years go by and it’s just the same old war
what we have is still worth fighting for, what are we fighting for

never look back on what we had
just try to believe in what we have
just think this out and take your time
cause it’s not your fault and it’s not mine
never look back on what we had,
just try to believe in what we have
just listen close to the beat of my heart
it’s yours for the taking

at the end of the day am I what you waited for
how can I say that I need you more and more and more
years go by and it’s just the same old war
what we have is still worth fighting for, what are we fighting for

at the end of the day am I what you waited for, at the end of the day
say you’ll wait for me
years go by and it’s just the same old war, at the end of the day
say you’ll wait for me

I painted a picture of a boy that was trying
and a girl that was smiling and she looked just like you
