By the third of July I could tell
That my eyes were shifting to
The way that I first saw you
Before I ever knew you
When we both saw it there
Wasn't bold enough to wear it on my sleeve
We left it at that
Last September
Could we back track dear so we can move along?
I know and I know and I know
We've got a long way to go
But I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying to win you
When you are around
Go ahead pick my heart up off the ground
If it looks nice in your hands
I've got no other plans
The quiet we've already made of this
It stands alone
With nothing to taint its picture
With no need of a sugar coat
It's already sweet to my taste
Silver lining's a waste
It's made of gold
And I can't remember
Do I always need you this bad, dear?
Does a chorus need a song?
I know and I know and I know
We've got a long way to go
But I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying to win you
When you are around
Go ahead pick my heart up off the ground
If it looks nice in your hands
I've got no other plans that I've written are stacked in my head
I've got thousands of things I should just leave unsaid
We can move along a chorus needs a song
I need you I need you I need you
I need you
I know I do
I know and I know and I know
We've got a long way to go
But I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying to win you
When you are around
Go ahead pick my heart up off the ground
If it looks nice in your hands
I've got no other plans
