Gentleman of Promise

I've written letters to you on whitest paper
 But they all return to me a pale brown
 And I've tried to stand up to it
 But it all seemed kinda useless
 So I'm writing you this letter from the ground
 And if you see a gentleman of promise
 Stealing looks at you from there across the room
 And if your tired heart, it dances from exchanging second glances
 Don't hesitate to steal your glances too
 And I wanted to wait till the sun would appear
 Picking flowers and placing them over our ears
 But you are what you are, and I'm not very far along
 But something tells me there will come a time
 Tired of that back and forth affair that we've been through
 Thinking more than once it may be time for something new
 Suddenly you'll see him standing there across the room
 Staring at you
 And I wanted to wait till the sun would appear
 Picking flowers and placing them over our ears
 But you are what you are, and I'm not very far along
 And I'm not very far along
 And if your tired heart, it dances
 From exchanging second glances
 Please don't hesitate to put this letter down
