Words and music by Patrick Wickenden Hunter
I haven't seen you for awhile we haven't spoken for a week
I thought of stopping by your house didn't know how that would be
called you up yesterday they said you can't come to the phone
maybe I should let it go and just leave you alone
and if I tried to be good maybe I could understand
maybe I could be your friend maybe I could hold your hand
if you wanted to be here maybe you would be tonight
maybe I know that I could be so much better if I tried
and this town is just the place that we ended up somehow
and we hated being here because we wanted to get out
drive alone through empty streets watch the town slowly decline
maybe we could just get out go somewhere else you and I
if I tried to be good maybe I could understand
maybe I could be your friend maybe I could hold your hand
if you wanted to be here maybe you would be tonight
maybe I know that I could be so much better if I tried
and I know love is a stupid thing that somebody else created
but I think that there might have been something between us
which disappeared while we waited
and there's nothing wrong with you I always wanted you to know
because you always blame yourself when you end up all alone
and no matter how this goes and no matter how this ends
I think you're perfect as you are and I love you as a friend
if I tried to be good maybe I could understand
maybe I could be your friend maybe I could hold your hand
if you wanted to be here maybe you would be tonight
maybe I know that I could be so much better if I tried
