lyrics

Everything lost in the storm
Everything I'd held close
And pieces of everything
Hang over my head like a ghost
And I waited up late
With her song in my head by the phone
As I tried to remember
The words that I'd practiced before

And I'm just a boy with a problem
I'm just a boy with a problem
I'm just a boy with a problem that won't go away

And I think that her picture's
Still somewhere in the back of my drawer
Though I never quite knew her
I'd swear she was here once before
And I slept with her words in my mouth
And it felt good to know
That no matter how far I may fall
There's no ground left below

And I'm just a boy with a problem
I'm just a boy with a problem
I'm just a boy with a problem that won't go away

And I'd wait here for you
If there was something left in it for me
But a heart that gets broke
Is the one thing that you'll guarantee
Yeah, I'd wait here for you
If you were who I thought you should be
But appearances lie
And people never quite are what they seem

And I'm just a boy with a problem
I'm just a boy with a problem
I'm just a boy with a problem that won't go away.
