i want to believe in something,
and you’re the first thing that comes to mind;
you taught me it’s about what you’ve already lost, not what you find.
and that rainy days don’t matter none in heaven,
as long as it isn’t your angel who’s crying.
that saying sorry is at best a waste of breath
cause what you say in those two words ain’t worth a dime.

oh boy, you taught me how to smile.
oh boy, you taught me to walk instead of run.
you showed me that notes always mean something.
you kissed me awake to see the sun.

so when you go, just go and don’t look back.
cause cul-de-sacs and railroad tracks go on forever.
when you go, just go and don’t turn back.
but don’t forget when i pull at your sleeve it means i need you
and that your heart is the rhythm that keeps me along.
i remember all the words to all your songs,
and when i need something to believe i dream of you.

oh boy, you taught me how to smile.
oh boy, you taught me to walk instead of run.
you showed me that notes always mean something.
you kissed me awake to see the sun.

so when you go, just go and don’t look back.
but don’t forget the touch of my hand,
and the way you look in my eyes to say you love me.
and while you’re reminiscing on the good times we had,
please don’t forget that I’ll be missing you.

oh boy, you taught me how to smile.
oh boy, you taught me to walk instead of run.
you showed me that notes always mean something.
you kissed me awake to see the sun.

when you go, oh just go, and don’t turn back.
i’ll sit at our spots with the lights down low.
and i’ll pray to God for you to know,
that it don’t matter how anyone shows,
cause when i believe in something i believe in you.
