She walks on rose pavement streets, and gives her smile to me
And it eats away at my soul
And I walk my asphalt walk, kindly return the smile
And continue down the road
I follow her home this night, but never does she see
The shadows that are me
And so Ive done for months, grown what I could call love
And I almost know her completely
She cries to sleep nightly, the echoes call to me
As she sits in her darkened room with nothing to believe
She tells me her secrets but never comes totally clean
But she doesnt lie to me
And weve spoken once or twice, and I see it in her eyes
A place to run when Im in pain
And I wake in the middle of night as tears flow from my eyes
Screaming her beautiful name
But if we were to die right now
Could I tell you why I feel and how?
And would you feel the same?
Or put this boy to shame?
Would you tell me you loved me
Or that you never could
Or that you never would?
