lyrics

I saw her there at the teller's desk and I thought, "This is the girl for me." She was beautiful, my knees went weak.
Her name tag read Charlotte and when she asked, "How can I help you?" My mind went blank, so I said, "Charlotte, can I have your number please?"

He walked to the counter like a deer in headlights and I could see there in his eyes something like fire, I can't quite explain.
I fell in love at first sight and when he asked for my number I gave it though I don't know what I was thinking, my mind went blank.

Well it's times like these that I find myself wishing that we could take snapshots of life and stay in a moment until we're ready to move on. God knows that it would be easier than trying to be business as usual after you're gone...

Oh so take it or leave it I don't want to be alone anymore, I know that somewhere along the way you'll make up your mind and decide that you don't need someone like me around you at all... I'm so scared that we're wasting time...

"Are you okay?" "I think so, I lost my head for a second..." "I know, you were screaming." "I swear there was someone..." "There's no one." "I know." "Dear, it's all in your head."
"The medication makes me foggy," "Believe me I understand. There's nothing either of us can do about it, we're drowning but we'll pull each other out."

"Oh, it's been so long, and I missed you and I'm sorry but I found someone and I have to stay out..."
"I thought you were doing okay but you stood, you stared at the fireplace like an old friend..." "Do you want to be locked up again?

"Though I know you could do so much better I'm not gonna go, I'd rather stay here with you not meeting your potential than be alone."

And it's times like these that we just turn our heads and pretend we haven't seen a thing, cause' putting either of us away would tear us apart. God knows that it's so much easier just living out my life insane not breaking your heart...

Oh so take it or leave it I don't want to be alone anymore, I know that somewhere along the way you'll make up your mind and decide that you don't need someone like me around you at all... I'm so scared that we're wasting time...

Oh take it or leave it I don't want to be alone anymore, I know that somewhere along the way you'll make up your mind and decide that you don't need someone like me around you at all... I'm so scared that we're wasting time...
