lyrics

There's a distant line
Tearing closer all the time
And when it divides
We'll scatter into separate lives
And it's just my luck
But while we're temporarily stuck
You should know I'll be
Thinking of you and me

If you had watched me closely from the start
You would have known you'd always had my heart
Well I've been on my knees in fields of green
Oh, I'll tell you exactly what I mean

And there's no way out
Between frustration and self doubt
You're, or I'm, to blame
I'm not sure which is more a shame
So I'll let it slide
And while I wish we had more time
You should know I'll be
Thinking of you and me

If you had watched me closely from the start
You would have known you'd always had my heart
Well I've been on my knees in fields of green
Oh, I'll tell you exactly what I mean
Shamrocks grow through this April's day
But my luck, well it comes and it goes away
A four leaf clover I have never seen
Oh, I'll tell you exactly what I mean

Well all this was the story long ago
But rather than tell, I tried to let it show
And now I'm working through this in my head
Maybe I'm scared, maybe I am
All my protection is erased
Fear of rejection in its place
There's no real hope of making sense
It's only me that I'm against
And my doubt spills through again
Again..
I clear my head and try again

Well all this should have been said long ago
But rather than tell, I tried to let it show
And now I'm on my knees in fields of green
Searching for words to tell you what I mean
All my protection is erased
Lack of direction in it's place
I only hope that I make sense
Still only me that I'm against
But my doubt spills through again
Again..
I clear my head and try again

Will it make, will it make it all better
If we agree, we agree
Do you think, do you think I'll feel better
I guess we'll see
We'll see..
