Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
Thinking
Dreaming
About where we stand
Longing
Hoping
I just wanna hold your hand
It's not rocket science
These feelings I have
But do you feel this about me
I'm guessing through the haze
Why is it like you're a million miles away…
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
Standing
Throwing
Rocks off the cliff
Sinking
Deeper
Jumping into the abyss
Black like your thoughts
You keep me in the dark
What do you feel about me
If I was in the know
It wouldn't feel like your a trillion miles below
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
Your the copper taste in my mouth
Your secrets drown me out
Your the copper taste in my mouth
Heads or tails your out
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your thoughts
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your, penny for your
Penny for your thoughts
