"I can see that someone
Went and left you hanging from a string
And if I pulled hard
I could make you do most anything
You can run from the past
But mistakes are meant to last
Between the lines
These are mine

The moment that you go
Is the moment that you know
That the best thing in your life is happening
So look me in the eye
And say you'll never say goodbye
I know the best thing in my life
Is happening now

You can tell your father
I know that he won't let you be
Doesn't want to believe
That you see him in me
But the way that you lay
So serene inside the gloom
I don't care
I don't care

The moment that we go
Is the moment that we'll know
That the best thing in our life is happening
So before we say goodbye
And leave them all behind
Though the best thing in our life is happening now

And I won't let you ever fade
Like a sunburn wasted in LA
And if we fall down breaking all along the way
I'll lift you up and that's a promise that I'll never break
And then you won't
And then you won't

We sit on the steps
Reading graffiti on the wall
The smile on your face
All them words, it says it all
On your way, you will find
The meaning in the rhyme
You were mine
You were mine

The moment that you go
Is the moment that you know
That the best thing in your life is happening
Before we say goodbye
Just look me in the eye
I know the best thing in my life is happening
Now."
