my confusing misconception

she follows a road
one that i've never known
she goes on her own
leaving me behind all alone

and when i try to catch up
it seems i only mess up
and never know
how far to go

sometimes i don't know her
my confusing misconception
sometimes i just prefer
my own naive perception

it seems i could love her
at one point or another
but it seems i don't even know her
every other time

she's there just ahead
walking the path she lead
we're getting closer yet
but she chose to forget instead

and when i try to catch up
it seems i only mess up
and never know
how far to go

sometimes i don't know her
my confusing misconception
sometimes i just prefer
my own naive perception

it seems i could love her
at one point or another
but it seems i dont' even know her
every other time

and when her road ends
i wonder if we'll just be friends
or if i can pretend
to love her more once again

'cause when i try to catch up
it seems i only mess up
and never know
how far to go

sometimes i don't know her
my confusing misconception
sometimes i just prefer
my own naive perception

it seems i could love her
at one point or another
and i'd much rather prefer
to pretend all those other times
