The dying day paints a portrait of sadness
Upon this lonely L. A. tear
Have I found a home in this prison of my own
Trapped in a borderline career

But there she sits in a store on 13th street
Walking a borderline of her own
Is she ever gonna know the way that I see her
When she walks into a room

And I'm not exactly happy
About all of the things that I've done
I've made some mistakes and I know that I'm young
And I'm sorry if I hurt anyone

Well, of all the things I'm proud of
And the places I've found in the sun
The way I find myself loving her
Is the best thing I've ever done

God knows it's hard to let someone new in
When you're still looking for a sign
And the harder it sits, the older I get
But the taste is as sweet as wine

So come with me, skate across the dance floor
As I sing my song for you
But if you let go, I want you to know
That I'm saving my dance for you

And I know I've climbed some mountains
That I probably never should have climbed
I feel like falling farther and hit bottom harder
That I've ever reasoned or rhymed

But if I only had a way to show her
How deep my heartache runs
And the way I find myself loving her
Is the best thing I've ever done

And if anyone would have told me
I would have loved anyone this way
I probably never would have listened
But now I'm here and I have to say

That you only make me stronger
I've never been more proud of anyone
And the way I find myself loving you
Is the best thing I've ever done
