"Hey, Wonderful"

So much more than just a pretty face,
She embodies compassion and grace
Somehow now it's the wrong time, wrong place
To be the happiest we've ever been

Tormenting winds tie me to the past
Sirens sing, but I'm bound to the mast
We're finding our way, trying to last
The hardest part is how to begin...

CHORUS:
You look me in the eye, tell me I'm wonderful
Flash me the smile that cast my world asunder- you'll
Hold onto me through the lightning and the thunder, we'll
Ride out the storm, swear we're not going under, still
Trying the make the moment last forever...

And since the poet and his best friend
Said we'd hold hands or try to the end
Been meeting hate 'cause that ain't the trend
And nobody sees more than their side

But more shows than you'd like in your face
I can tell the whole world's on your case
And I'm taking these halls pace by pace
Heads held high as we take it in stride

CHORUS

Request to bare my Achilles' Heel:
I've got no clue how to keep this real
To keep you from changin' how you feel
All that strength you saw was just for show

And I wish I could promise you things
Two prom tickets and Senior Class rings
But I've can't tell what our future brings
And I'm not sure that I'd wanna know...

You look me in the eye, tell me I'm wonderful
I don't know why, but you tell me I'm wonderful...

CHORUS

And I'll keep scribblin' my soul on this page
Workin' my words to pull minimum wage
I see you in the crowd from every stage
And hope you know I'm yours way past someday
