I’m searching for the words to write, if I don’t find something I really like,
I’ll erase each line and I’ll just sing your name.
I drown my insecurities with a bottle full of memories
As I talk to you inside a picture frame.

‘Cause I just thought I saw you on my television screen,
There’s no channel I can change to fill the spaces in between

And if I was fine right now, then darlin’ I’d tell you how you loved me so completely
Out of sight and out of mind.
If I was fine right now, then I’d simply show you how my heart is in retreat,
From the enemy that I did not mind, excuse me but I have to close my eyes
Your beauty might just make me blind.

If all is fair in love & war, then what are we still fighting for?
I’ll take what’s mine, if you take what’s yours, okay.
I called you but I couldn’t leave “I love you” on your damn machine,
We don’t talk, you see, so I guess we were playing for keeps.

‘Cause I just thought I saw you on the corner of 16th,
I can’t help but see your face on every stranger that I meet

And if I was fine right now, then darlin’ I’d tell you how you loved me so completely
Out of sight and out of mind.
If I was fine right now, then I’d simply show you how my heart is in retreat,
From the enemy that I did not mind, excuse me but I have to close my eyes
Your beauty might just make me blind.

‘Cause I just thought I passed you, baby, walking down my street,
I can’t help but see your face, no, I can’t help but see your face

If I was fine right now, then darlin’ I’d tell you how you loved me so completely
Out of sight and out of mind.
If I was fine right now, then I’d simply show you how my heart is in retreat,
From the enemy that I did not mind, excuse me but I have to close my eyes
Your beauty might just make me blind.
