in the other room

Oh I should've said something when I had the chance Put on my big boy shoes with my scaredy pants I never thought the one that got away could come back again Oh I swear to God I thought of you in every frame of time A picture perfect memory of the girl I left behind Oh who would've thought you'd end up with my best friend And I thought it'd be easy to let go of you like a balloon, ooh Watch you float away and land right on the moon, ooh See if you were far away I'd be over you by noon, ooh But how could I forget you When you're in the other room You were supposed to be easy to forget This isn't how it works you're not supposed to come back yet I'm the hopeless romantic so I should make the calls This isn't just, isn't right, isn't fair Why watch my dreams when you're right over there But I never sleep when I hear you through the walls And you should never hand a child a balloon, ooh If you gave me some space in the days like October or June, ooh See if you were far away I might have a change of tune, ooh But how could I forget you When you're in the other room And I'll steal some glances, I won't make advances at you Instead I'll pretend that you're stealing glances, too And if one day I summon the courage I could never find I'll knock on his door, grab your hand, and lead you to mine But I'm such a coward I won't be knocking soon Yes I'm such a coward I'll clap when you're bride and groom, oh no I'll regret all the times I let go of my precious balloon And I'll always love you in the other room Yes I'll always love you in the other room
