I used to watch for passing ships
As if I might see the same one twice
And I waited with breath bated on my lips
As if someday I might hear his voice

All the seeking and the drawn out sighs
Couldn't prepare me for that night
When he said move on, he'd been ready to fly
And like a star in the sky he was gone

Someday maybe I'll tell you my story
There's a whole library of regret for the things I'll never do
Oh, I've tried to close that book of rue
But if you're down to try, I'd reopen those pages with you

There's a corner in my heart for plans we didn't start
The time we spent apart didn't fade his words away
And ever since that day, I've let his shadow stay
A haunting in the places I don't look at anymore
But when the sunset pours in I can't keep my eyes open
It's like outside me, everything has moved forward
While I'm rereading foreword, hopin'

Whoa-o-o-oh
Someday maybe I'll tell you my story
There's a whole library of regret for the things I'll never do
Oh, I've tried to close that book of rue
But if you're down to try, I'd reopen those pages, yeah
Someday maybe I'll let myself weigh heavy
There's an inventory of the things from my past that stay with me
Even if you don't know what to do, if you're still not afraid
There's a world I would trade in for you

Telling the truth is half the fight
Bring every secret to the light
Unfinished manuscripts with half written promises
Every surrender and strife
Every love lost in my life
Fight my fear, lay it out
Where would I be without you

Tell me how to begin 'cause

Someday baby I'll tell you my story
There's a whole library of regret for the things I'll never do
Oh, I've tried to close that book of rue
But if you're down to try, I'd reopen those pages with you
Someday baby I'll let myself weigh heavy
There's an inventory of the things from my past that stay with me
Even if you don't know what to do, if you're still not afraid
There's a world I would trade in for you
