For The Longest Time

Would you wait if I came running home to you?Or if I moved right down the street a block or two?Distance is never on our sideIt only seems to make our dreams collideAnd you have gone on to someone newWould you wait if I wrote you a perfect song tonight?To make your heart stand still and make your chest grow tightBut I'll never write a perfect lineAnd I don't know why I even waste my time and try, whoaAnd for the longest timeI couldn't love her to save my lifeNever a moment of peace in my mind, yeahCause in the longest lineThe front and the back are the same sometimesAnd taking a number has taken my time, whoaAnd there are things that I don't have the patience forAnd when I go to my room I leave an open doorCause I can't stand to feel aloneAnd when you come around I'm feeling more at home, whoaAnd for the longest timeI couldn't love her to save my lifeNever a moment of peace in my mind, yeahCause in the longest lineThe front and the back are the same sometimesAnd taking a number has taken my time, whoaDon't pass me byGive me another chance tonightTo make your heavy heart so light that you can flyCause every timeI see the light behind your eyesThe whole thing catches me in a moment by surpriseAnd for the longest timeI couldn't love her to save my lifeNever a moment of peace in my mind, yeahCause in the longest lineThe front and the back are the same sometimesAnd taking a number has taken my time, whoa, whoaAnd for the longest timeI couldn't love her to save my lifeNever a moment of peace in my mind, whoa(Don't pass me by)Yeah, cause in the longest lineThe front and the back are the same sometimesAnd taking a number has taken my time, whoa(Don't pass me by)And for the longest timeI couldn't love her to save my lifeNever a moment of peace in my mind, whoa(Don't pass me by)Yeah, cause in the longest lineThe front and the back are the same sometimesAnd taking a number has taken my time, whoa(Don't pass me by)
