For Mia Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For you, Mia
I've got a wrong to right

For you, Mia
I'm gonna wake the woman in you up tonight

[Bridge]
I'm outside your window

[Chorus 1]
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
And she'll come running after me

[Verse 2]
For you, Mia
I've got a bone to pick

For you, Mia
I'm gonna wind the second hand that makes you tick

[Bridge]
Before this is over
[Chorus 2]
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

[Break]
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?

[Chorus 3]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
