A Thousand Years

You dance around like a daydream in my head
A picture-perfect vision of what could have been
Looks like I was the one who should have known
Fairytales seem darker in the morning light
But your face, your smile, it’s painted in my mind
So I cry the tears of the words I never told

I could wait a thousand years
Walk a thousand miles in every direction
Look you in the eye and tell you everything I’m feeling inside
But a thousand years won’t change your perspective
And I’ve been waiting a thousand years to fly

We look awkwardly at each other, wish I could see you through rose-colored glasses again
Maybe then, I could change everything that’s happened
Ooooh, you’ve got a way of pulling me under
All beginnings have an ending, but our ending doesn’t have a beginning
Just a heart now full of empty feelings
Realizing that now is never going to be forever

I could wait a thousand years
Walk a thousand miles in every direction
Look you in the eye and tell you everything I’m feeling inside
But a thousand years won’t change your perspective
And I’ve been waiting a thousand years to fly

But your face, your smile, it’s painted in my mind
I’ll think of you this way every time, every time, every time

I could wait a thousand years
Walk a thousand miles in every direction
Look you in the eye and tell you everything I’m feeling inside
But a thousand years won’t change your perspective
And I’ve been waiting a thousand years to fly

I could wait a thousand years
Walk a thousand miles in every direction
Look you in the eye and tell you everything I’m feeling inside
But a thousand years won’t change your perspective
And I’ve been waiting a thousand years to fly
