Story Behind The Song

This is just the older me talking to the younger me. I know many people who went through something like this.

Lyrics

You could deepen the ocean with her eyes
She's lost her way again
Gathering up her alibis
And let them think they are friends

With those eyes she can look at you
And you think you've been where no one's been before
You'll fall in love cuz you know you've got the key
You'll find no lock on that door

She will cry when you want to leave
She's done nothing wrong
So you take a chance, waste another year
Its okay, you're not yet too old

After a while, she tells you that she loves you
She just needs a little break
The secrets begin, or were they just not obvious
That key you thought you had, was it worth the wait?

She will cry, when you want to leave
He's only just a friend
So you take a chance, waste another year
Its okay, you're not yet too old

Ah then it dawns on you, you're being used
Till something better comes along
You were the one, not for her
Not for her

She will cry when you want to leave
He's only just a friend
So, you take a chance, waste another year
Its okay, you're just getting old

Looking back, you're tempted to call them wasted years
Still its a lesson learned
Ex marks the spot, where you will grow
It was just your turn
Ah your turn
It was just your turn
