Laughter in Hindsight

You're right here, yet you're out of reach Pushin' through the crowd, but I'm just too meek Can't muster up the courage To step beyond this lonely ledge But what if you're the piece, that's meant for me, my peace Deciphering your heart, without a map or chart Now here at our old haunt, past feelings start to taunt Could we pick up the page, in that chapter we lost? Do I dare to approach, break through the ghost Of a past where I just, couldn't say what meant most [Chorus] What if we restart, what if we’re not apart Can we make a new memory, not repeat history I'm reaching out now, I'm not that timid kid Facing the fear that's kept my feelings hid It's now or never, time to take a chance To find the rhythm in an awkward dance Could it be your smile’s a sign, are you also seeking mine? Finding words I never spoke, letting go of the old joke Excuse me while I clear my throat Tripping on words that I barely wrote I've rehearsed this scene a thousand times In the mirror of a mind that rewinds To days when laughter was our song Did we know it all along?
