Penny, Things Wont

I try not to say I love you

just because it's something so many say

and I think we've got the chance

for something that you just can't get the easy way.

Well I'm not the perfect person

I just go through what I have to every day.

And the pavement's not so stable here

that you might never think to walk away.

'Cause Penny you're just a girl that I know and I'm just me

Don't ever find words for that look in your eyes

And I like to believe I'm the only one who sees

It's all the faith I keep sometimes and I can't watch it leave

I don't mind trying harder everyday, oh no

'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way

Ah, when we're close

I get fooled into thinking it's all planned

That if we aren't sure

That someone's going to take us by the hand

But getting lost is easy

And you know they'll leave you stranded in the rain

Wishing you'd made that one right move

Oh, Penny, can you keep me from that pain?

Cause I'm sitting on fences

Lost in my old why's and wherefore's

And I trip over promises made too soon

Worried I'll end up kicked out your door

But you know I'll be there knocking

And asking you for more

I don't mind trying harder everyday, oh no

'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way

oh no no no

We pick a direction and take it as far as we can go

And we wonder sometimes if we've done the right thing

Kills me just to think we'll never know

Sometimes I want to drop it but I can't let it go

I don't mind trying harder everyday, oh no

'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way

I don't mind trying harder everyday, oh no no no

'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way
