(Verse 1)
Goddamn, I miss your face
I'll scream it from rooftops
If that may help me or my case
It's time we both face
This might be fate
What other reason do I have to wait?
There's no time to spare
Please come back here 
Whatever you need I don't care
I'll build you a chair or
Write your name in the sky
Using ink made from the air

(Pre-Chorus)
Don't take any moment for granted
Embrace every moment you share
Let no kind words ever be recanted
Even with none left to spare

(Chorus)
Life is subjective 
Love is an elective
Success is selective and 
A matter of perspective 
But I'm perceptive to
Your bag of tricks
You can't tope this
It will not mix with me and
The pedantic semantics of
Hopeless romantics

(Verse 2)
Goddamn, I'm head over heels
I'm not sure you noticed
Do you even know this or
The way it feels?
How shattered I am when you leave?
Do you ever grieve when you lie
Like most people breathe?
All fabrication and exaggeration
Choosing the illusion of whom I preconcieved over losing the reality 
I refuse to believe

(Pre-Chorus)
Don't take any moment for granted 
Embrace every moment you share 
If life and love leave you feeling disenchanted
Remember that means that they're no longer there

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
Appreciate what you have when you have it
You only get one life, then it's gone
Life is all drama and pain, you exclaim
Evidenced by this picture you've drawn

(Chorus)
Life is subjective
(Don't take any moment for granted)
Love is an elective
(Embrace every moment you share)
Success is selective and
(Let no kind words ever be recanted)
A matter of perspective 
(Even with none left to spare)
But I'm perceptive to
(Don't take any moment for granted)
Your bag of tricks
(Embrace every moment you share)
You can't tope this
(Let no kind words)
It will not mix with me and
(Ever be recanted)
The pedantic semantics of
Hopeless romantics
(Even if none were ever there)
