Corners

It's times like these I wish I couldn't keep you

Tucked within the corners of my mind

Still today, I wish I never claimed to

Walk a straight line anytime I like

I wonder

If I called you

Would it be alright

To say I loved you?

Morning hasn't broken since I told you

I could use some time to make it right

Now you're just a whisper, just a notion

Just a story I can read at night

The clouds move slower than they ever seemed to

Still, they find a way to pass me by

My friends, though, they wonder what I'm used to

To love a man who never treats me right

I wonder

If I called you

Would it be alright

To say I loved you?

I tried to take the time to love another

Just a friend that I could cling to tight

His eyes, they spoke with hunger and devotion

But they're not the eyes in the corners of my mind

I wonder

If I called you

Would it be alright

To say I loved you?

I wonder

If I called you

Would it be alright

To say I loved you?
