Daniel - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Do you still sleep without your pillows in the house on Cherry street?

Do you hear the sea?

And we promised we would meet back up in Autumn

But next spring came crawlin' on its knees

You couldn't fit inside my suitcase

And I didn't wanna be slowed down

Sometimes I wish that I could turn the clock around

Why Daniel? I wish you'd talked me out of it, through thin and thick

Why Daniel? Why'd you let me walk away, I would've stayed

I convinced me if I loved you, I'd leave you, I was lyin'

You stood there with your palms out, your cryin' was silent

Why Daniel? I didn't mean a word I said back then

Why'd you let me win?

I remember when we spoke of flying North to Paris, France

Just to feed the birds

And do you still have that old napkin you took home from the cafe

Where I wrote those three words?

You couldn't follow me to L.A

I should've never took that job

Now three years have passed and I still feel so robbed

Why Daniel? I wish you'd talked me out of it, through thin and thick

Why Daniel? Why'd you let me walk away, I would've stayed

I convinced me if I loved you, I'd leave you, I was lyin'

You stood there with your palms out, your cryin' was silent

Why Daniel? I didn't mean a word I said back then

Why'd you let me win?

Have you settled down with someone since I gave you time to grow?

Do you ever think about me? Was it easy to let go?

I was such a foolish soul

Why Daniel? I wish you'd talked me out of it, through thin and thick

Why Daniel? Why'd you let me walk away, I would've stayed

I convinced me if I loved you, I'd leave you, I was lyin'

You stood there with your palms out, your cryin' was silent

Why Daniel? I didn't mean a word I said back then

Why'd you let me win?
