Every now and then I see I part of you I've never seen
Birds can swim and fish can fly, the road is long, I wonder why
One of these days you'll realize what you mean to me
If I find the courage to say what is on my mind
Every now and then I try to tell you just how I feel
Heavens talk, the rain begins, the sky turns black, nobody wins
Well I try to talk but I can't find the words
My soul has turned to steel and the fear inside overfills
This happens every now and then when I try to tell you just how I feel
I know if I say what's on my mind
It can get me in trouble most of the time
There's no substitute for losing a friend
But I can't hold a weighted heart
I've gotta let it out from the start
Through my mind my thoughts keep spinning around
They're tellin' me there's plenty more in the sea
I've dived the deepest ocean and I can't hold my breath much longer
Well you never know what’s waiting around the bend
But I’m always wishing it’s you
Ohh I should have bought you those sunflowers
Should have read you my rhymes
They say every story has a beginning, a middle, and end
I'm still stuck on chapter one
But in it, you have already come second to none
