lyrics

I said your hair is a highlight
On the audience's paper
Wish it was now
Instead of later
Running into the daylight
But I'm not ready for tomorrow
Are you feeling alright?
Yes I thought so

Right there opening your window
I can see you pointing to a bird
Up on the lightpost
Isn't it a shame how there's no way
To feel it all?
Cop cars are pulling in my driveway
Red blue light waves
Said "I ain't your man"
Well you're damn right you're not

I better leave now
So I don't end up staying
Because you truly don't know
What you're saying
Must be pretty in love
To get married so young
You've been in my dreams
You've been in my REM, hon

This time it's a little different
When I took a look
You were not where I expected
I make all these walls inside my head
And you walk right through
