The Moment

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.
