Lyrics
What you want
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What you want to say,
Wait till you get home.
I'm sick of communicating over the
Telephone.
But tell me how you feel,
For I am lonely too
Need you to know
I'm just as cold & numb as you.
But I could fly away,
Or I could be no one.
And you could be the
Sunshine falling over the Mountains
Or you could come to stay
You could come right home
Don't use why I have to
Live this life all alone.
I know there is a way to make up for old Mistakes
And I know what's happening is for a reason
I know…
