Let me briefly state things for which I am thankful My father my mother my family et cetera The fact that there's water on top of this planet The opportunity for me to walk in it Since it's a new year, thanks for life in general And the ability to take it if I want to Finally I confess to my closest acquaintance A.K.A. someone who thinks they know who this boy is And I wish that they do So I could stay With them Did I tell you I dont think this will work out That I love you but Im wanting something else Something close to me that I cannot forget Something far away that I'd like to admit Id like to end it with the music cliché Say in a phone call that its not you its me Then I could hang up and just put you away In some music box with the sweet song it plays Since its a holiday Ill leave you alone Dial six numbers and then hang up the phone A good excuse for me to? my postpone Because you can't be hurt by what you don't know Oh, and I wish That you could be So it would stop Me from asking But lend me your ear dear Did I tell you I dont think this will work out That I love you but Im wanting something else Something close to me that I cannot forgive Something far away that Id like to admit Admit Let me tell you that you don't need to worry now Did I tell you I dont think this'll work out That I love you but Im wanting something else Something close to me that I cannot forgive Something far away that Id like to admit Admit Admit
