Hey kid, good morning,
You look like an angel.
I don't remember when we fell asleep.
We should get up, kid,
Cathy is waiting...

Look at us lying here,
Dreaming, pretending,
I made a promise, and I took a vow.
I wrote a story, and we changed the ending.
Cathy, just look at me now.

Hold on,
Facts are facts,
Just relax, lay low.
All right, the panic recedes.
Nobody needs to know.

Put on my armor,
I'm off to Ohio,
Back into battle 'til I don't know when.
Swearing to her that I never was with you
And praying I'll hold you again...

Hold on,
Clip these wings,
Things get out of hand.
All right, it's over, it's done.
No one will understand.

No one will understand.

We build a tree-house,
I keep it from shaking.
little more glue every time that it breaks.
Perfectly balanced, and then I start making
Conscious, deliberate mistakes.

All that I ask for it one little corner.
One private room at the back of my heart.
Tell I've found one, she sends out battalions
To claim it, and blow it apart.

I grip, and she grips,
And faster we're sliding.
Sliding and spilling, and what can I [bad word] back to bed, kid,
Take me inside you.
I promise I won't lie to you.

Hold on, don't cry yet,
I won't let you go.
All right, the panic recedes.
All right, everyone bleeds.
All right, I get what I need.

And nobody needs to know.

Nobody needs to know...

Since I have to be in love with someone,
Since I need to be in love with someone,
Maybe I could be in love with someone like

You...
