When she sees me it'll all be over 
And everything will be different
She'll tell herself that she ought 
To not think what she thought 
But she won't listen

When she sees me, she'll hate me 
Then she'll love me again
She'll have a smile on her face 
Though she's sick of the chase
So she's giving in

And they'll hold hands like their jumping off a bridge 
at all times
And she can't figure out why it's not like this at all 
time

Oh my, I know that I'm late 
And I'm sorry that you waited all your life
And tonight, we could just forget it 
And pretend we never said it and move on with out lives

I knew from the sweet sound of your car on my street 
This could be paradise

When I see her I will fall apart for sure 
And forget what I've been through
Losing control, swallowed whole by what I've turned 
into
When I see her things are gonna escalate past no return
(I forget, I forget what I've been through)
And we'll both ask ourselves "When will I learn?"

And they'll hold hands like their jumping off a bridge 
at all times
And she can't figure out why it's not like this at all 
time

Oh my, I know that I'm late 
And I'm sorry that you waited all your life
And tonight, we could just forget it 
And pretend we never said it and move on with out lives

I knew from the sweet sound of your car on my street 
This could be paradise
This could be...

Maybe I've learned now
And I don't have to prove it
Maybe I've learned now
And I don't have to prove it

Oh my, I know that I'm late 
And I'm sorry that you waited all your life
And tonight, we could just forget it 
And pretend we never said it and move on with out lives

I knew from the sweet sound of your car on my street 
This could be paradise
I knew from the sweet sound of your car on my street 
This could be paradise
I knew from the sweet sound of your car on my street 
This could be paradise, paradise

Maybe I've learned now
And I don't have to prove it
Maybe I've learned now
And I don't have to prove it
