| I find that now I’m always listening
|
| God knows I used to talk so much
|
| The ocean doesn’t need the sailor
|
| The sky was there before the doves
|
| I spoke in riddles and in rhymes
|
| But my time with you has taught me to simplify
|
| You’re not quite what I pictured you would be
|
| You’re better than my wildest dreams
|
| I won’t leave you when you’re sleeping
|
| I will be here when you awake
|
| I’ve got ghosts and I’ve got demons
|
| But they will not chase me away
|
| I’ve been waiting all my life
|
| For some reason that I never could describe
|
| You’re not quite what I pictured you would be
|
| You’re better than my wildest dreams
|
| I’m not sure what I could give you
|
| Whatever’s mine is yours to take
|
| I have never been a teacher
|
| But let’s both learn from my mistakes
|
| ‘cause it has taken me so long
|
| To surrender what I hoped no one could see
|
| You’re not quite what I pictured you would be
|
| You’re better than my wildest dreams |
