lyrics

let's go!

when i think about...
all the times i laughed out loud
and every single little time you came around, i gotta
wipe the tears out from my eyes,
turn around and look up right at the sky,
well, it's something
you can't understand
and it's not what
you thought you'd planned
and it's really quite simple, if you'd see
how much it meant to me

don't say it, don't say it
don't say it, out loud
don't say it, don't say it

you've gotta wait here,
you've gotta let me down,
you've gotta walk away
you've gotta wait here,
you've gotta let me down

but every time i see your smilin' face,
it comes and takes me right up to a better place,
i gotta wait to see if i'll come down,
standing still with my feet off of the ground, don't...

don't say it, don't say it
don't say it, no, no
don't say it, don't say it

you've gotta wait here,
you've gotta let me down,
you've gotta walk away
you've gotta wait here,
you've gotta let me down
you've got to
walk away
