(David Z & Bruce McCabe, 1998 David Z (BMI)/Ryan Cory Music (BMI))
Second guessin' first impressions
There you go again
Rushing off in all directions
Since I don't know when
All day long you're building walls
You're building walls all day
Putting ceilings on your feelings
When they should fly away
(following verse is not sung in Jonny's version but is included in lyrics)
Don't you think it's time you quit it
Don't you think it's time you admit it
Your heart is more worthy of trust
Than the thoughts
in your mind
That sit there gathering dust
Everything you're looking for
You'll know when it's real
You'll know when you've found it
By the way you feel
Writing down your deepest emotions
With your pen in hand
Your piece of paper flew out the window
You watched it try and land
You felt bad as it flew out of sight
A part of your heart alone in the night
All of a sudden you didn't mind it
When you pictured that lonely stranger that would find it
Everything you're looking for
You'll know when it's real
You'll know when you've found it
By the way you feel
