The dying day paints a portrait of sadness Upon this lonely L. A. tear Have I found a home in this prison of my own Trapped in a borderline career But there she sits in a store on 13th street Walking a borderline of her own Is she ever gonna know the way that I see her When she walks into a room And I'm not exactly happy About all of the things that I've done I've made some mistakes and I know that I'm young And I'm sorry if I hurt anyone Well, of all the things I'm proud of And the places I've found in the sun The way I find myself loving her Is the best thing I've ever done God knows it's hard to let someone new in When you're still looking for a sign And the harder it sits, the older I get But the taste is as sweet as wine So come with me, skate across the dance floor As I sing my song for you But if you let go, I want you to know That I'm saving my dance for you And I know I've climbed some mountains That I probably never should have climbed I feel like falling farther and hit bottom harder That I've ever reasoned or rhymed But if I only had a way to show her How deep my heartache runs And the way I find myself loving her Is the best thing I've ever done And if anyone would have told me I would have loved anyone this way I probably never would have listened But now I'm here and I have to say That you only make me stronger I've never been more proud of anyone And the way I find myself loving you Is the best thing I've ever done
