Only Be A While
There’s a game tonightYeah, I’ll cheer real loud
Laugh with friends
Gaze into the crowd
And look for you
Out of habit, I suppose
We’ll go to the drive-in
Order four floats
Reminisce about the past years
Complain about the cold
And I’ll try to not bring up you
Cuz everyone already knows
Sometimes I put on your old sweatshirt and watch old movies
Sometimes I sit in my room and hide
Sometimes I hang out with my friends and do my best to act normal
Sometimes I can’t even sleep at night
Love
Is such a bittersweet affair
When you have someone
But they’re just not there
To take you out
Or kiss you goodnight
Arms too far away
To hold you tight
I hear your voice
Though only once in a while
You can’t see me cry
Nor watch me smile
Keep telling myself
It’ll only be a while
Only be a while
There’s the first snowfall
And a dance right after
I go by myself
Dressed up for no one
They say I look nice
Miss out on a slow one twice
There’s a girls night next
But first we drop off Chris
They get out of the car
A simple goodnight kiss
Then she returns
And the envy burns
Sometimes I close the door and listen to your songs
Sometimes I’ll look at pictures of you and me
Sometimes I can make an effortless smile
Sometimes I wonder where you might be
Love
Is such a bittersweet affair
When you have someone
But they’re just not there
To take you out
Or kiss you goodnight
Arms too far away
To hold you tight
I hear your voice
Though only once in a while
You can’t see me cry
Nor watch me smile
Keep telling myself
It’ll only be a while
Only be a while
I’m lonely
Just waiting for the day
When you can hold me
And tell me we made it out okay
I’m broken
A part of me is somewhere with you
I’m hoping
That you feel incomplete too
