Sherwood - For The Longest Time lyrics

rate me

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 my 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 even know why I 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 I know 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 pass 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 pass 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 pass 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 pass 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 pass 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
