[Verse 1]
Well I sat down today and wrote a song for you
I tried to make the words come out, I tried to make them true
But the one thing that I learned is when it comes to you
There′s nothing I can do
There's nothing here for you
We′ve got history, more than I can care to say
I wish I'd known back then that they'd be wasted days
But I cut you out, I cut you down to size
You′d somehow use to creep into my mind
[Chorus]
So maybe I′ll sit down and write a list
Of all the moments and opportunities you've missed
Maybe then I′ll know what I've been through
But I sat down today
And wrote a song for you
[Verse 2]
So I sat down today and wrote a song for you
I couldn′t help myself
I needed something new
You took the ground beneath my feet and turned it into glue
Hoping that then I'd have no choice but to wait
For you
[Chorus]
So maybe I′ll sit down and write a list
Of all the moments and opportunities you've missed
Maybe then I'll know what I′ve been through
But I sat down today
And wrote a song for you
[Verse 3 + Outro]
And sometimes I wonder if he should know
Exactly how far back our story goes
All of the plans made and promises broke
And how all my trust turned into smoke
Ahoo-hoo
Ohoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo
