Lincoln Avenue

[Verse 1]

Well I guess this is where I left my life

And all its operations

And I know that I will never get this twice

With all negotiations

This feels like the place between what is and might have been

So I guess this is where we both find out

If this was meant to be

[Chorus]

And I'll tell myself, I don't need you

I'll tell myself enough to get me through

But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day

If you can take a little more

[Verse 2]

Now it takes me back to times on Lincoln Avenue

When you said you'd never get tired of the boy

That seemed to be so far from growing up

But we were different then

This feels like the place between being ready and being in the way

[Chorus]

And I'll tell myself, I don't need you

I'll tell myself enough to get me through

But I'll finally show you how I should have been being with you every day

If you can take a little more

[Bridge]

This feels like the time that I'm ready for you

Are you ready for me

'Cause I'll tell myself I'll make it through

I'll tell myself anything to get over you

[Outro]

And I won't blame you but I'm finally ready to show you

That I'm ready to show you, I'm ready to show you, yeah

I'll tell myself that I never needed anybody anyway, but anyway

I need you

I need you now

I need you now

I'm ready now
