Stepped out
cool dirt under feet
and the fog in the air
and the crack of the snare bittersweet
Loud sounds
were such a relief
cause they crowded our thoughts
and allowed us to not have to speak

But the girls everywhere
with the jewels in their hair
weren't dressed for the cold
Like a part of the show
every step was a pose
was a scene for a lens to behold

As we pushed through the crowd
with the drums getting loud
you were moving ahead
where I always had lead
so I reached for your hand
because I was afraid I was
losing my way again

Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't think I could say it
Forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted
or what to do

Didn't know what I wanted before
Wasn't sure I could say it:
Forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted
or what to do

Moved on
to a different stage
and the daylight was fading
with everyone waiting engaged
Their cheersa steady refrain
and the crowd wouldn't part
even thought it was starting to rain

And when the spots came on
the first notes of the song

filled them up like a rush
we were caught in the crush
and I tried to forget
but was filled with remorse and regret

So I tried to move on
from the thought I was wrong
when I slipped on the grass
and around me they passed
and it suddenly dawned on me
I could see you still
but you were already gone

Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't think I could say it
Forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted
or what to do

Didn't know what I wanted before
Wasn't sure I could say it
Forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted
or what to do

There was something that I couldn't say
cause I was so afraid
it would push you away
But when I never said what I couldn't say
it went and pushed you away
it pushed you away

Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't know what I wanted before
Wasn't sure I could say it
Forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted
or what to do

Didn't know what I wanted before
Didn't think I could say it
Forever nevermore
Didn't know what I wanted
or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted
or what to do
Didn't know what I wanted
or what to do
