“I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me

And you say
As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change the way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
"They don't deserve you"”

“I wanna love you
I wanna be a better man
I don't wanna hurt you
I just wanna see what's in your hand.”

“I wish you were here
I wish you were here
To see what I could see
To hear
And I wish you were here”

“But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts.
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers,
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin' for has been here the whole time.If you could see that I'm the one who understands you,
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me;
You belong with me.”

“One thing I can't keep seem to say,
is I'm not done with you,
still can't get over you,
you don't wanna hear that,
you likely never will,
these dreams I have about you,
this brokenness I feel.”

“I don't wanna' wonder whether you love me
I don't wanna' wonder whether you care”

“As the outsider, you can retreat into a shell, be anonymous, be invisible. Or you can go the other way. You protect yourself by opening up. You don't ask to be accepted for everything you are, just the one part of yourself that you're willing to share. For me it was humor. I learned that even though I didn't belong to one group, I could be a part of of any group that was laughing.”

“You are more than now;
You are for always.
I can see in you
My dreams come true.
Don't you ever go away.

You make me feel like
There's nothing I can't do.
And when I hold you,
I only want to say
I love you.”

“I don't want to hear any words like that while I'm here. Scout, you'll get in trouble if you go around saying things like that. You want to grow up to be a lady, don't you?'

I said not particularly.”

“I want you to have big dreams, big goals. I want you to strive to achieve them. But I don't want to see you beating yourself up every time you make a mistake.”
