Xander Corbett - Eleanor Lyrics

Her eyes were shining golden sunbeams
I would chase her while she chased her dreams
We met up in the woods behind her childhood neighborhood
Back when everything was good and she still loved me
Her hair flowed in the wind like leaves in the fall
No matter the circumstance, she'd always stand tall
Nobody could break her down, she learned to swim, so she'd never drown
And I must say, I still love her, but I hate this town
She's so afraid to fall
And she knows I don't fear death at all
Why did I make her feel so small?
Sometimes I want to call her up
But I know damn well I've done enough
She hurt me, and I know it's all my fault
She wore that flowing dress in the summer
I let her go, what a bummer
She could've been my lover
She had me, heart and soul, but she left me in the cold
Maybe I could've been better to her
Maybe I could've been better to her
Maybe I could've been better to her
