Should have never crossed your path Funny things you want the most Should soon be taken back Slap my own hands like a child Stealing from the candy store I think I've taken to your smile
And I hunger for your laugh Do the craziest things like look around When I know you're nowhere near me Break my back on a song Though I know you're not there to hear
Unanswered questions lying on the coffee table From a song I haven't finished since last summer Cause I never could decide how much was gin How much the sea Or other incidentals clouding what was really me
Everything I am is bare feet and burning sand Waiting for the calm cool hand of the sea
A madman of emotions waiting for the drug effect Of the reason and the intellect to comfort me
Half the time I love you like you love the fall's first breeze Then you seem as distant as the skeletons of trees Far away outside my window Where inside I think of you As if I thought hard enough I'd know which way to turn And what to do
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
I'm quite sure I'll be alright We all live with some distraction It's just too bad Mine will hang around all day and night Like an uninvited guest You can't turn away try hard as you might Lord knows I've tried
I might let it go and take a long long run Quit my job and join the coastline baking in the sun Then again I might just make big plans And leave them on the table Like the song I left unfinished And the words I am unable I will always be unable to express
