Four Years - Pete Yorn

He met a girl four years ago

He knew her like he knew himself

He fell with conviction, but not too easily

He wished, his love was hers to keep

But it wasn’t enough for him to have her

He never woke up, there’d always be others

Had so much to give but time waits for no one

You don’t believe me, but I think he’s grown

There’s a new light coming

A new day for them

Ask for an answer, and it will arrive

There’s new light coming

He was a brave fighter

He had all this heart

And discipline would keep him from falling apart

But these hours in the morning, he finds them so hard

He dreams that he’s open

And now he’s sailed on

He’s sailing on

There’s a new light coming

A new day for them

Ask for an answer and it will arrive

There’s new light coming

He realized, he’s growin' up

He can do anything with it

He realized, he’s growin' up

He can do anything well

He knows there’s a difference in walking away

We don’t always know exactly what to say

We say it anyway

There’s a new light coming

A new day for them

Ask for an answer, and it will arrive

There’s new light coming

He realized, he’s growin' up

He can do anything with it

He realized, he’s growin' up

He can do anything well
