There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder, could you find a better one
Compared to her, now she's in question
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Looking for the right one, you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
Oh, but she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes (sometimes)
We'd never know what's wrong without the pain
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you've started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come
Oh, it'll never come
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you had her, maybe you lost her to another
Oh, to another
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder, could you find a better one
Compared to her, now she's in question
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Looking for the right one, you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
Oh, but she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes (sometimes)
We'd never know what's wrong without the pain
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you've started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come
Oh, it'll never come
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you had her, maybe you lost her to another
Oh, to another

aw man this song is awesum. im a youth pastor and i've tried to explain this to so many guys n finally there is a song that jus perfect. it doesnt really relate to me but i hav had heaps of buddies in this situation ;) they fall in 'love' with all these different girls for long periods of time, one breaks there heart so they go back too the other one. back n forth. when really the chick that is probabaly best suited for them is right there in front of them but instead they neva see her or when they think bout it for a sec they do just like the song 'start to compare...' i jus think there is so many of us guys out there doin this and wats gonna happen is like the last part of this song>>>Maybe you want her Maybe you need her Maybe you had her Maybe you lost her to another To another.
the chick who is probabaly like a close buddy or sumthin is goin to realize that we're gonna go after the same girls who will never love us, she'll lose respect, and then she is gonna fall for sumone else 'maybe you lost her to another' so cum on guys n check out a new perspective :)
thats it. i think i hav it spot on, and the scary thing, is i just realised that its me in this position. there is a girl that came to my school in year 10 and we have been great friends since and i literally fell in love with her. i told her and she didnt feel the same. i was crushed but got over it. and since then iv been in and out of love with her. there is another girl, beautiful and great in every way but i cant feel the same way she does about me, all because of the first girl. i dont know what to do. i just know that the first girl is the one for me, but it wont happen. <br /> <br /> off topic abit. seriously great song, speaks to the listener, as does all the other fray songs
