I'm sitting here without you
and I think I finally know
for the first time, in my mind,
thinking I don't feel so young

And I just can't lose this
little space I once adored
and I am floored
when I realize there's nothing
that I've been waiting for

Why can't I move on?
Why can't I let go?
It has been so long
my long for you, it only grows
and I can't read minds
I swear to God that I've tried
when I finally see
the girl in my head is not in front of me

I'm sitting here without you
like a song whose name I've lost
though the message resonates
we've made the search so great
how could we ever see the cost?

Why can't I move on?
Why can't I let go?
It has been so long
my long for you, it only grows
and I can't read minds
I swear to God that I've tried
when I finally see
the girl in my head is not in front of me

Who can say, that in their life,
the choices made were always right
but who would trade these humbling times
it takes the growing pains to finally change your mind

Why can't I move on?
Why can't I let go?
It has been so long
my long for you, it only grows
and I can't read minds
I swear to God that I've tried
when I finally see
the girl in my head is not in front of me

When will I finally see
the girl in my head is not in front of me

When will I finally see
the girl in my head is not in front of me
