Homecoming - Five For Fighting

In the morning light she laid there in the grass 
She was till dressed in her white homecoming gown 
I helped her back to her room 
She was cold against my shoulder 
I tried not to wake her up as I laid her down 
Then I sat there and watched her sleep for a while 
I've admired her for so long from far away 
If I could hold her in my arms, then maybe she could love me, 
If I could only find the words that I want to say 

Sullen like a dream that I once had 
Made me feel scared and lonely 
She'll never know how she got back 
What her eyes had shown me 
And I close the door and walk away 
I close the door and walk away... 
But I want to stay... 

The leaves below my feet crumbled at my steps 
And the sun has risen higher than it was before 
I step into my car and I drive for a while 
I can't stand the same scenery anymore 

I stop along the bridge, and I close my earthly eyes 
And I wonder what this world can offer me 
Cars they move below me and I seem to realize, and I look 
Up at the sky and call her name. 

Chorus
