who you could be - Elijah Woods

Lyrics by：elijah woods

Composed by：elijah woods

At your parents for the day

You'll be 24 in May

We've been on and off a couple months

And your mom set out the table-cloth

Talking Jesus over tea

And she's staring right at me

Like I'm some sort of anti-Christ

For teaching you there's more to life

Than being where you are

But you don't know where to start

So I try to fix

The glue never sticks

I thought you could be anyone

Anyone but this

'Cause you're a supernova

And I wish that you could see

That the hardest part of loving you it seems

Is that I love who you could be

You've been working for a wage

You say it's a little phase

That you're going through a reset

But it's been that way since we met

I wish I didn't doubt

That maybe this time you'll come around

See that your future is an open door

But I can't unlock the key to yours

'Cause I'll love you until the end

But I can't do this again

So why try to fix

The glue never sticks

I thought you could be anyone

Anyone but this

'Cause you're a supernova

And I wish that you could see

That the hardest part of loving you it seems

Is that I love who you could be
