If I Could I Would But I Can't

the days have turned to months
the months have turned to years
I'm feeling older now
i'm looking at my fears
the neon lights of london town
they ain't so pretty they're
getting me down
nothing seems to shine no more
not even the record stores

do you wanna keep me waiting
keep it all inside
if i could i would but i can't
do we keep on hesitating
till we miss the ride
if i could i would but i can't

everything around me
takes me back to you
the canthier. the park. the fair.
it is crazy but true
we were only kids and only
wanted to break free
i guess we couldn't though it out
but guess what - i blame me

do you wanna keep me waiting
keep it all inside
if i could i would but i can't
do we keep on hesitating
till we miss the ride
if i could i would but i can't
i should have held you close
should have kept you near
you were my guiding light
it's going out i fear
well i took you on a journey
straight to hell and back
well i lied. i cheated, kept you awake.
well i painted your world back.

do you wanna keep me waiting
keep it all inside
if i could i would but i can't
do we keep on hesitating
till we miss the ride
if i could i would but i can't
