lyrics

Tell me this ain't
Some psychotic obsession
Tell me it's just normal infatuation
Is love really supposed to hurt
As badly as this does?
No one knows the answer to these questions

I met a girl who looks
Just like a fountain
She talked with me
For hours on end
She spoke to me in whispers
In a velvet, picturesque style
Which danced before me
Just like pirouettes
She said, "My baby wandered out
To California
In search of someone
That he used to know
His eyes were jungle water
And his smile was my soul
And he still ain't found
What he was looking for"

Tell me I can
Somehow fill this gaping
Cavity where
My core used to be
Won't you tell me that it's nothing
But an ordinary case
Routine observations from
A point in space
Time and money
Gather and then vanish
People change
And never really plan it
We're all refugees in desert scenes
That wasteland flaming sun
They got rubber bullets
And candy coated guns

Well if you think
Someone out there will save you
I don't wanna
Tell you that ain't true
But patience dies
And feelings lie
There are no exceptions
You might be sprinting
In the wrong direction
So if you fall into
The trap of hoping
Don't put someone's
Smile in your soul
She said, "He still ain't found
What he was looking for"
