lyrics

First up, I needed proof that if I keep things up, I can make it through,
and if it all goes right and I miss my cue I'm gonna throw myself in the swimming pool and go
Face down. I can't assume so I'll be off here soon if it's coming true,
But there's a whiplash. I made it through,
So can we time this right like we wanted to?
And I can't calm down 'cause the feeling's new, and if I feel things out,
then you wouldn't want to know.
That's fine, but I never seem to know
What's right, so I don't know where to go
Nice try, I can't assume that if I hold back soon that you won't approve.
To make a bad day a little cool I'm gonna throw myself in the swimming pool and go

We were right there,
We were right there. Now

I needed proof that I can keep things up, and you'll keep it too
'Cause there's a rat race I'm gonna lose. I'm gonna make my bed in the waiting room
I can't feel things out with the midnight view
And if the talk runs short, guess you'll hit me when you have to.
Sounds right, can't be a fool, I gotta make myself seem a little cool!
And I can't look down 'cause the feeling's new, and if I feel things out, then you wouldn't want to know.
That's fine, but I don't know where to go.
Nice try, I can't assume that there's a damn good chance you would want me too
To make a bad day a little cruel I'm gonna throw myself in the swimming pool

We were right there
We were right there now
We were right there
Looking for the right sign, showed up at the wrong time
