Different..

Hmm...Just Wish Things Could Be Different..

David Carr
I'm gonna miss the way you held my hand
I'm gonna think of the times we kissed
I wanna reach back for those memories
Filled with hope and bliss

I need to let you know I'm thinking
Of all the sweetest words to say
In the hopes that you will change your mind
And turn and look my way

But I know and I do understand
The things you need and what you have planned

So I'll throw away all your letters
Because their just too painful to read
And I'll sit here in my room and wish things could be different
Things could be different...in the end...

I'm gonna miss seeing your smiling face
You know I love to hear you sing
You'll never really understand my dear
The love and joy you bring...

And if the door you want to walk through
Is left cracked open for awhile
I promise to stand on the other side of it
With a glass of wine and a smile...

And yes I know and I do understand
The things you need and what you have planned
But in case you didn't really know
There's a love for you here that has grown

So when you're walking down 5th Avenue
Or having dinner in Time Square
I hope you realize, if I was asked
I would have gladly met you there

I'll have to put away your mixtapes
Because the songs are just too sweet
Without your head upon my shoulder
The feeling's incomplete

And yes I know and I do understand
The things you need and what you have planned
But in case you didn't really know
There's a love for you here that has grown

I'll delete the e-mails you've sent me
Because their just too painful to read
And I'll sit here in my room and wish things could be different...
Wish things could be different...
Things could be different ...
Things should be different...
Wish things could be different in the end...
