Everyday feels all the same
9 to 5 gets so mundane
But something breaks with just one glimpse of you
(of you, of you...)
I would stare so long awhile
Trying to tell you with my eyes
I didn't say a thing I thought you knew
I wish I never did assume, 'cause...
I was gonna tell you today
I even wrote the words I would say
I finally found the courage
But now it's too far
It took me all this time to reveal
What everything about you does to me
So tell me why did I keep a cover on my heart?
I spent all night trying to explore just
How I'd tell you I adore you
And how I'm moved by every word you say
But today, there's an empty space
I've found you gone without a trace
I wish that I could've told you yesterday
Maybe then you would've stayed
I was gonna tell you today
I even wrote the words I would say
I finally found the courage
But now its too far
Oh ohhh oh...
(It took me all this time) to reveal
(What everything) about you does to me
So tell me,
Why did I keep a cover on my heart?
It feels like my point of existence
Has vanished with you with the distance
Whatever it takes I'll persist
'Til I see your face again
(I was gonna tell you today) woah oh...
(I even wrote) the words I would say
I finally found the courage
(But now) now its too far
Its too far, I gotta get to where you are
(It took me all this time to) to reveal
(What everything) about you does to me
Tell me why did I keep a cover on my heart?
Hey. hey woah.
(Tell me why did I keep a cover on my heart?)
