Maybe This Time

One night I watched you play to the sea
Your eyes were closed
You sang from a place deep within your soul
Inside your own world
And I how longed to jump in with you
But I'm not sure I can 'cause

Tear-stained dreams and hopes unrequited are all I've known
But maybe this time I'll fly
Maybe this time you'll catch me

For nights I was lost, almost smothered in the wood
Surrounded by fog
Ambiguity haunts as confirmation's ghost
And I don't know where I stand
'Cause I can't figure out where you are
Though you see where I am but

Tear-stained dreams and hopes unrequited are all I've known
But maybe this time I'll fly
Maybe this time you'll catch me

And I know I've got to trust
And I know there's more to this than us
And in the dark I offer whispered prayer
But I don't know that you care
