lyrics

THESE PAGES: Oh, there you are, it’s so good to see you, it’s so good to see you, standing right at my door, I wish you could stay. Well, how’s your girlfriend? How’s that going? She never liked me, oh I wish you could stay. It might be an ordinary day, but it seems like more than that to me… Lines on my forehead, from trying to thread the needle of this idea, without letting you know it. If you said I could I’d throw the maps right out the window, take the longest way home. So I change the subject and I put on my best smile, so you won’t notice, so you won’t notice what’s wrong. So don’t you ask me, no please don’t ask me, ‘cause I don’t dare tell you, exactly what’s on my mind. It might be an ordinary day, but it seems like more than that to me… I’ve gathered these pages of words left unspoken, letters I didn’t send you would fall right from my fingers. If you said I could put my hands where I want to, set fire to the bedroom. If you said I could put it all out on the table, throw the maps right out the window… Oh there you are, it’s so good to see you, it’s so good to see you, I wish you could stay…
