A Passer-by Longing

V6

[INTRO - fade in] [VERSE 1] Standing outside of your house And I'm dreaming... Wondering what it takes To catch your eye No guts to ask you out No guts to say hello This longing unanswered [HOOK]I'll guess I'll just pass by... ... Breathe out another sigh [VERSE 2] Well it's been a few years And we're older Never returned to that sigh My spirits are bolder heart has grown colder... Life kicked me around a bit And I lost the longing [HOOK]So I guess I'll just pass by... ... Don't feel the need to even try [BRIDGE] News came out that you aren't doing well And your nearly on your last News came out too late to me To relive those longings from the past [VERSE 3] Went by your old house today New tenants been there a year Stopped and said a private prayer An apology for holding back Never knew you at all Never stopped by to tell You How I elevated you so high That I wouldn't even try To start that rocky climb Now it's long past time For the last time I'll just pass by ... Punish myself with another deflating sigh and give you a last goodbye. [END]
