Song lyrics
I'm not the person that you thought I was
I'm not the one you thought you knew
I'd do most anything to make you think that I'm the one
I'd do it all to get to you
You see me as the perfect compliment
You think that I'm someone to choose
You see me in a way that makes me want to reinvent
A person I could turn into
Give me the love and I'll tell you when I wanna come
Give me the love and I'll tell you when I wanna run
Blue strides are calling and I can't stop falling
Give me the love and I'll tell you when I wanna run
I don't look like myself in photographs
Long days of time have been unkind
I miss the you, the one
That makes me want to redefine
I'm not the one you fell into
I'm not the one, the one for you
Give me the love and I'll tell you when I wanna come
Give me the love and I'll tell you when I wanna run
Blue strides are calling and I can't stop falling
Give me the love and I'll tell you when I wanna run
Give me the love and I'll tell you when I wanna come
Give me the love and I'll tell you when I wanna run
Blue strides are calling and I can't stop falling
Give me the love and I'll tell you when I wanna run
