MATCH THE TWO HALVES

                 I wish you'd unclench your fists,                                          too late                          
Lately there's been                                                     that someday I will
                 But don't think it's                                                         and unpack your suitcase
Nothing's wrong,                                                   too much of this
                 You know                                                                         just as long as                                                                        

CHORUS

UNSCRAMBLE THE SENTENCES

I know you're wondering when
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow

Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Nothing's wrong, just as long as

That we could end up saying
So we could end up staying

Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Things we've always needed to say

Now the story's played out like this
You know that someday I will
