lovesick lyricist

I used to be so pessimistic, you hated that
I didn't know which way to go
So I stuck to facts
I stuck to fa-acts

But it was too late
Too late when I realized what it was doing to us
And your frame of mind
It wasn't mine
Wasn't mine to destroy

So I'll write a little high
Write a little low
And maybe it'll help us to where we must go
We can take some of it off
Show a little skin
Get a little closer to what we were first in

Chorus
Cause we can build it all
With our four hands
We can do it all
For time is in the sand
And we won't rule the world
We will stick to the plan

I shall make a new with you

You were always so beautiful
Sentimental to the core
And I'd be
Oh I would be dragging you dow-ow-ow-own
The wrong track

But I promise this time around I am open minded,
I will nurture all of your flaws
And nothing can stop me for this time
I promise that I'm all yours

So I'll write a little high
Write a little low
And maybe it'll help us to where we must go
We can take some of it off
Show a little skin
Get a little closer to what we were first in

Chorus
Cause we can build it all
With our four hands
We can do it all
For time is in the sand
And we won't rule the world
We will stick to the plan

I shall make a new with you

My apologies for the past
My love
Time was of the essence
And I know you are too good
To have me blow all of my chances
I will appreciate you greatly everyday
not just so you won't slip away
But so I can be the first to make you smile
After you wake

I want to be that for you

So I'll write a little high
Write a little low
And maybe it'll help us to where we must go
We can take some of it off
Show a little skin
Get a little closer to what we were first in

Chorus
Cause we can build it all
With our four hands
We can do it all
For time is in the sand
And we won't rule the world
We will stick to the plan

I shall make a new with you
