Realize Lyrics
Take time to realize
That your warmth is crashing down on in
Take time to realize
That I am on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't spell it out for you
No, it's never gonna be that simple
No, I can't spell it out for you
[Chorus]
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other now
[Verse 2]
Take time to realize
Oh-oh, I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by
Didn't I tell you?
But I can't spell it out for you
No, it's never gonna be that simple
No, I can't spell it out for you
[Chorus]
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other, but
[Bridge]
It's not the same
No, it's never the same
If you don't feel it too
If you meet me halfway
If you would meet me halfway
It could be the same for you
[Chorus]
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder
Just realize what I just realized
If you just realize what I just realized
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now, yeah
Realize
Realize
Realize
Realize (Oh-oh)

We went by sales on iTunes because that’s the one that people have been requesting and that’s the one that, at shows, the fans just go crazy. So we based it on that. But I’m also glad because I think that that song can relate to a wider range of fan base. Adults can like it and young teenagers.

‘Realize,’ I started writing the song and it wasn’t about anyone. I just started writing it and I got stuck with it and I e-mailed it to Jason. His roommate at the time liked me, so we ended up actually dating. At that time, I didn’t know he liked me. So the song was pretty much from his perspective of wishing that I would realize that I liked him!
