I fly by night, sleep by day
While you're off to work miles away
I could call you up, but it would do no good
We'd be like two paths crossing in the woods
You say it's easy to sing to a crowd
You say they're paying me just for thinking out loud
Well I'd sing just for you if I only could
I'd sing of two paths crossing in the woods
I wake up every day in a darkened room
It's not a game we play - I couldn't learn too soon
I do my best for a while to forget I ever saw that smile
But looking back on good things gone bad
I soon start wishing for what I had
Out there's the sun, never felt so good
I turned my back on you like I knew I should
But I'd trade it all in for a little of your time
If our paths ever cross down the line
