When faced with the truth
Will you begin to understand

I count the minutes and the hours
That you are not in my sight
I count the miles and the inches
That are between us two
And I hold on and I fight
Try as hard as I might
To sustain myself

Chorus:
I remember an early January eve
I was in your car, there was a CD
Playing through your stereo
And you asked me, “What does this song mean?”
And the car slowed as you stared
And my head turned and I compared
You to my loves of the past
And I thought hard as you stared
And my mind raced as I compared
And I decided that you were the one

There’s a man speaking to a crowd
He’s talking about beauty and how he can tell
When somebody is beautiful
All the while you look at me
And our eyes meet for a while
And I grin and you smile
And now I know

Chorus:
I remember an early January eve
I was in your car, there was a CD
Playing through your stereo
And you asked me, “What does this song mean?”
And the car slowed as you stared
And my head turned and I compard
You to my loves of the past
And I thought hard as you stared
And my heart thumped as I compared
And decided that it was all you

Flashback to half a year ago
It feels like not so long ago
That I cried about how it was unfair
You stood beside me
You stuck right by me
As I sobbed into your shirt right there
And you didn’t seem to mind
That people watched from behind
As I cried tears of joy and despair

And you said, “When faced with the truth
Will you ever begin to understand?”
I stood there and looked on
You said, “When faced with the truth
Will you ever begin to understand?
Will you ever begin to understand?
Will you ever begin to understand
Understand that I care about you
Understand that I love you?”

Chorus:
I remember an early January eve
I was in your car, there was a CD
Playing through your stereo
And you asked me, “What do you think this song means?”
And the car slowed as you stared
And my head turned and I compard
You to mishaps of the past
And I thought hard as you stared
And my heart thumped as I compared
And my mind raced as you stared
And I teared up ’cause you cared
And decided that I love you

About The Song

This poem is for somebody who shall remain nameless. I think it speaks for itself.
