For the Longest Time

Would you wait if I came running home to you? Or if I moved right down the street a block or two? Distance is never on our side It only seems to make our dreams collide And you have gone on to someone new Would you wait if I wrote you a perfect song tonight? To make your heart stand still and make your chest grow tight But I'll never write a perfect line And I don't know why I even waste my time and try, whoa And for the longest time I couldn't love her to save my life Never a moment of peace in my mind, yeah Cause in the longest line The front and the back are the same sometimes And taking a number has taken my time, whoa And there are things that I don't have the patience for And when I go to my room I leave an open door Cause I can't stand to feel alone And when you come around I'm feeling more at home, whoa And for the longest time I couldn't love her to save my life Never a moment of peace in my mind, yeah Cause in the longest line The front and the back are the same sometimes And taking a number has taken my time, whoa Don't pa*s me by Give me another chance tonight To make your heavy heart so light that you can fly Cause every time I see the light behind your eyes The whole thing catches me in a moment by surprise And for the longest time I couldn't love her to save my life Never a moment of peace in my mind, yeah Cause in the longest line The front and the back are the same sometimes And taking a number has taken my time, whoa, whoa And for the longest time I couldn't love her to save my life Never a moment of peace in my mind, whoa (Don't pa*s me by) Yeah, cause in the longest line The front and the back are the same sometimes And taking a number has taken my time, whoa (Don't pa*s me by) And for the longest time I couldn't love her to save my life Never a moment of peace in my mind, whoa (Don't pa*s me by) Yeah, cause in the longest line The front and the back are the same sometimes And taking a number has taken my time, whoa (Don't pa*s me by)
