Make Her Happy

Fifteen
When growing pains come on so easily
The classroom
Was full but nobody was listening

But the next day came
And she looked his way
There was something he'd never felt

Then he hoped to god
That he won't get lost
In her eyes because he knew he'd melt

And he said

Every night
I lie awake and play pretend that she was mine
Only five
Days a week was not enough to see her face, it's a crime
When the morning came
I hesitated
To let her know how I feel

But I can't help
To dream about
A time where I can make her happy

He's nineteen
And growing up is a misery
Her smile
Feels like nothing but ancient history

Then the next day came
And she looked his way
It was something he'd felt before

Never got the strength
As his heart just sank
She's just a girl that he'll forever adore

And he said

Every night
I lie awake and play pretend that she was mine
Only five
Days a week was not enough to see her face, it's a crime
When the morning came
I hesitated
To let her know how I feel

But I can't help
To dream about
A time where I can make her happy

I just wanna make you happy

I don't know
How this will go
Is she even listening?

She'll never know
I've loved her so
Ever since we were fifteen

Every night
I lie awake and play pretend that she was mine
Only five
Days a week was not enough, it's a crime
When the morning came
I hesitated
To let her know how I feel

But I can't help
To dream about a time
Where I can make her happy
