Whatever

I'll go out of my way
To find a place for us to stay
Just try and meet me halfway there

I'll walk that extra mile
To find whatever makes you smile
You just keep waiting over there

I'll be whatever keeps you by my side
Whatever works, I won't leave it untried
I'll be running your way until we collide
Once the tears have dried

I'll clean up my act, this might take me a day
I will study my part and I'll get into your play
I'll just need you to script out my way

And when the birds disappear, it's their song that I sing
Now that winter is near, our chances are thin
We met on a cloudy day, way after spring

I'll be whatever keeps you by my side
Whatever works, I won't leave it untried
I'll be running your way until we collide
Once the tears have dried, whatever makes me care just leaves me

And all the love songs are meant to alert
We know that God intended love to hurt
All the love songs will lead us to despair
The brighter we burn, the sooner we'll use up the air

I'll be whatever keeps you by my side
Whatever works, I won't leave it untried
I'll be running your way until we collide
Once the tears have dried,
whatever makes me care just leaves me cynical
