Dearest friend,
I wrote this song five months ago about what's Her name,
And how she drove a hook into your heart, and dragged it fourteen blocks.
Now I'm alone and I got hooked and my heart...fourteen blocks away it hangs
And I just thought you'd understand.
I'm not in-tune,
The sun won’t shine upon my moon,
Why don't you get a little closer?
My friends are dead,
With eyes of glass and hearts of led,
Why don't they get a little closer?
Was it something that I said?
With second-guessing, five stages, five hundred forty dates
And I await my number on the wall
Always end up saying:
Please don't take us to that ledge,
I'll open up my arms and close my eyes you'll watch me fall I'll watch you fly.
Sunbeams bathe my lover's head,
One for every tear she shed.
I can't bear to see her ache,
I'll tear a petal for her sake.
She was flawless my betrothed,
Pictures by the orange grove.
Give me legs to get away,
Vocal Cords so I could pray.
She is gentle, I'm a flake,
Hear the rattle of a snake?
She wants us to take a break,
I’ll still tear a petal for her sake.
She was flawless my betrothed,
Pictures by the orange grove.
Give me legs to get away,
Vocal Cords so I could pray.
