Pete Yorn - Four Years Lyrics

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
