  • For you, Mia
    I've got a wrong to right.
    For you, Mia
    I'm gonna wake the woman in you up tonight,
    I'm outside your window.
    Oh, I'm aiming at your heart with a shot in the dark
    Holding back, "I love you."
    Running in circles through the neighbor's yard,
    Oh, I'm waking up your folks and I'm causing a scene
    Screaming out for Mia
    As she comes running after me.

    For you, Mia
    I've got a bone to pick.
    For you, Mia
    I'm gonna wind the second hand that makes you tick,
    Before this is over.

    Oh, I'm waking up your folks and I'm up to no good
    Screaming out, "I love you"
    Raising the eyebrows of the neighborhood.
    Oh, there's not time enough to hear what I wanted to say
    But I could take forever,
    And let my Mia wait today.
    Morning breaks on Logan Street.
    Five minutes of walking away
    And I'm wondering.
    If she's so perfect
    Why does leaving always seem so right?

    Oh, I'm aiming at your heart with a shot in the dark,
    Holding back, "I love you"
    Running in circles through the neighbor's yard.
    Oh, there's not time enough to hear what I wanted to say
    But I could take forever,
    And let my Mia sleep today. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
