You stared at your shoes for the longest time

You know if I could
I'd give you everything you asked for
Just to somehow stay in the same place I'm at
Because for once I realize that you're more worthy
Of someone better than me all along
And they never mattered much, did they?
I'd stay with them just out of boredom
No rules to follow, because they didn't deserve them
They were just like each other,
More concerned with what was down my shirt
Than what was written down in pads of paper
With all my thoughts painted on my sleeves

I watched you all tonight
Staring at your shoes
Looking down...
What are you thinking as their words go over our heads?
Are you even thinking of this?
I mean, the things they're saying...
I should have been a better person
But I guess I've always been rebellious and rude
I've never quite fit in here...
And as they're telling us what we should be
Do you believe this?
What are you thinking?
And what do you want to be?
What are your dreams?
sometimes I think that this place
Is hiding who we really are
Afraid to speak too seriously
Afraid to bridge a subject that might reveal us
For what we really are

But still, there's something in your smile
And there's something in your laughter
I trust you somehow
And I believe you, somehow
I can still remember that night
In the mountains
You don't know what you did I'm sure
But I...
I guess it was the cold,
Getting to my head
But..
And you don't know what it meant to me
To finally have a friend.
