I vote we be happy now.

I swear you wrote this.



novia, we're blessed and we were always on the crest
and we were best of friends long before the night could end
now we'll point our fingers to whose fault it was we took so long to come around
but i vote we be happy now

novia, it took a lot of courage to say the things you did
and i'm glad that you found in yourself what i couldn't find in me
we shouldn't care whose fault it was we took so long to come around
i vote we be happy now

what's meant to be will surely someday come to pass
i'm so sorry he left you somewhat thinner
but your past is gone, focus wrong
stoke the fire that burns the letters
ship to shore, swim some more, no one can hold that against you now

and you'll believe somehow

somewhere between the actions that i can't stop and the words i can't get out
let the way my fingers part your hair speak volumes to you now
and novi, you're the strong one my one demand is I'll never again let you go away

what's meant to be will surely someday come to pass
i'm so sorry he left you somewhat thinner
but your past is gone, focus wrong
stoke the fire that burns the letters
ship to shore, swim some more, no one can hold that against you now

open up your eyes
morning bless your sight
oh, and i cannot believe the things we did last night
now you are like a ghost
living in my town
everywhere i look and yet you're nowhere to be found

but your past is gone
focus wrong
stoke the fire that burns the letters
ship to shore
swim some more
no one can hold that against you
you're the accident that happens
when we're busy making other plans
i never saw you coming
i hope i never see you go

what's meant to be will surely someday come to pass
i'm so sorry he left you somewhat thinner
but your past is gone, focus wrong
stoke the fire that burns the letters
ship to shore, swim some more, no one can hold that against you now

not now.
