you can stand there and pretend
that you don?t see me looking at you
you'll probably hear the line I'm workin' on
from 10 other fools before the night is through

it's not an act of desperation
it's not the fear of being alone
but I know how sweet life could be
if I found the half that makes me whole

so everyday I try
to find love in a strangers eyes
someone to hold me close to kiss goodnight
maybe you and I could be
everything each other needs
when will love find me

well I know that you feel safe
behind the laughter of your friends
well over here it's just me
but if I had the chance I think that I'd fit in

I don?t know where I turned in life to end up here
I've got a few miles on this heart of mine
but it's ready to go anywhere
