Now you can’t even speak
Are there no words left for me
When there used to be so much to say
Dreaming the days away
Guess it’s no big surprise
I’m such a mess in those big blue eyes
Why can’t you come to me
Freedom scares you so you wait
Put on the chains of the day-to-day
All I ask is that you have some faith in me
You can’t have it both ways
Take a risk and play it safe
Have to do that someday
Why can’t you come to me
Want you with every wish
Maybe that makes me selfish
But I need life to begin
That has worn you thin
If you take too much time
You’ll never make up your worried mind
Why can’t you come to me
Freedom scares you so you wait
Put on the chains of the day-to-day
All I ask is that you have some faith in me
You can’t have it both ways
Take a risk and play it safe
Have to do that someday
Why can’t you come to me
Ordinary is for the rest of the world
You deserve so much more
But there are never ending doubts
I feel like I could shout
Regrets are determined things
To save you that I’d give anything
Why can’t you come to me
Freedom scares you so you wait
Put on the chains of the day-to-day
All I ask is that you have some faith in me
You can’t have it both ways
Take a risk and play it safe
Have to do that someday
Why can’t you come to me
Guess I could back down
Let you think without me around
But if I do you always forget
Wonder why I get so upset
It’s bad when it could be so good
To let you go maybe I should
Why can’t you come to me
Freedom scares you so you wait
Put on the chains of the day-to-day
All I ask is that you have some faith in me
You can’t have it both ways
Take a risk and play it safe
Have to do that someday
Why can’t you come to me
Freedom scares you so you wait
Put on the chains of the day-to-day
All I ask is that you have some faith in me
