the sky grows bigger every day
and the the other week i hop'd on a train
cutting through state lines [bad word] to you as the crow flies
out there in the offin' everything was melon and orange

did you know, my sweet
yeah, that i once took the liberty of wathing you in your sleep?

and i just wanted you to know
that every pool of water reminds me of you
is that all right?
i hope you think it's cool
yeah sometimes a train can't go as fast as i want it to

did you know, my sweet
yeah, that i once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
i rolled over and over
trying to touch your knees, yeah, underneath the sheets
trying to touch your knees

everything seemed a little easier
when we weren't one hundred miles apart
the person across from me
sitting in her train seat, reminded me of you
and i looked out past her cheeks
through the glass-light conduit
the sun had sunk
disappeared into new jersey
oh, why don't they have phones on these things?

what can i do?
im stil thinking about you

did you know, my sweet
yeah, that i once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
i rolled over and over
trying to touch your knees, yeah, underneath the sheets
trying to touch your knees
