I'm the yellow light that you just missed.
And I'm the boy you thought you'd never kiss.
And I'm the one who laughs at all your stupid jokes,
A chump card flapping in your spokes.
I'm the password that you just guessed.
I'm all the answers to the last and final test.
I'm the only good song on your new CD.
I'm the one you're looking at when you're gazing past me.
And even if I was everything to you
It still wouldn't be enough to get you through.
'Cause even when it's laid down in front of you
You don't know, you don't know what to choose.
I'm the perfect comeback that you thought of much too late.
I am a summer in Portland without a drop of rain.
And I'm first place when you came in third.
I am the hardest lesson you will ever learn.
And even if I was everything to you
It still wouldn't be enough to get you through.
'Cause even when it's laid down in front of you
You don't know, you don't know what to choose.
And even if I was everything to you
It still wouldn't be enough to get you through.
'Cause even when it's laid down in front of you
You don't know, you don't know what to choose.
