lyrics

I lived by a busy road
A duplex with white-framed windows
Two blocks from the grocery store
It was great but I wanted more
Just wanted more

That year I turned twenty-one
My new life had just begun
But I sat quietly as the hours fled
Alone to think about what she said
Of what she said

Hiding away
Just for another day
Waiting to start
At the corner of Jessamine and Park

The living room was blank and torn
With a broken light and a splintered floor
And all that time I planned to fix things up
But intentions are not enough
They're not enough

Hiding away
Just for another day
Waiting to start
At the corner of Jessamine and Park

Hopelessly, so hopelessly distracted now
I'm fading out
Anxiously, so anxiously I wait around
Nothing left but wondering
I wonder if it's over now
And I've missed out
She was mine, oh she was mine
But no, not now
And I'm left on my own

I'm on my own, it's so sinister
You know how much I wanted her
Oh, now I can't get through to her
Do you know how much I wanted her?
