(Verse 1)
I can see the crossfire
Way out in the prairie
Extinguishing the steadiest flame
I dumped all my rain

(Pre-Chorus)
Run free, find your whole world
Not a short lived daydream
The one I selfishly upheld

(Chorus)
I hope her name completes yours
Dreams you both can explore
She becomes your first in everything
And it feels like nothing I offered before
I hope your hands fit perfectly
Lips sweeter than mine
Won't leave you loveless
And not say why
I hope she's your Amanda

(Verse 2)
I hope you find her
Skipping rocks by your favorite stream
Golden hair reflecting sunbeams
Baby blues hiding behind sunglasses you bought
I'm letting you go so you can find "the one"
Praying she's better than all I've done

(Pre-Chorus)
But what was I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait
for me to love you?
What was I supposed to do?
Put you back together
I was never the one
meant to fix you

(Chorus)
I hope her name completes yours
Dreams you both can explore
She becomes your first in everything
And it feels like nothing I offered before
I hope your hands fit perfectly
Lips sweeter than mine
Won't leave you loveless
And not say why
I hope she's your Amanda

(Bridge)
Helped me solve math problems
But you couldn't solve me
Taught me to add and multiply
Life's complexities
Then I divided your heart
subtracted you from my life
Yet I'm the weeper
The villain in your eyes

Praying each night
An angel swoops in
Cleans up the mess
of your heart I left in pieces
down in the gutter
Those lullabies now aching cries
A wolf's howl in the bleak of night
Shards of memories
when we shared every heart sigh

(Outro)
So this is how it ends?
This love's been outgrown
Corrupted government
But here's your chance
To run, don't look back
The setting sun is sinking fast
A glance goodbye is not what I need
For you to promise you'll love again, ferociously

For the desired
For the passionate and brave
For the love I never gave
For Amanda
