Album: Sounds from the Gulf Stream
Stood on tiptoes to watch
The last seconds of you disappear fast
Talking, I said everything I don't mean
Walking away, I feel sick, seventeen
I lost my cool, words slipped out wrong
Well, maybe you'll decode this song
Made you a tape to explain how I feel
Taped to escape this old world where I'm me
You and a girl in the back of a cab
Fooling around, letting London fly past
I wish that I was that girl in that cab
I wish, but you never see me like that, no
Every goodbye always the same
I think of how our hug will change
Suddenly something goes click in your heart
Suddenly somehow we're never apart
Harder to breathe each time you grin
Telling me secrets I'm not in
Suddenly there is no more I can say
Suddenly somehow the words slip away
You and a girl run to catch the last train
Fooling around, feeling lewd, unconstrained
I wish that I was that girl in that train
I wish, but you never see me that way, no
The way you hold my stare
The funny way you smile
The doofus clothes you wear
Sometimes things seem worthwhile
When you and me...
No girl...
A dream
