Well I've got nothing left to say or do today
so maybe we can run away
and talk about how we thought you wouldn't like me and I wouldn't like you back
but if we gave it a day
maybe we would kiss anyway
and we could be in movies
illuminating the screen
or we could live out on the ocean
harvesting ocean tangerines
and we could talk about flying
and transcontinental trains
but if we didn't like the noise they were making
we'd sail away

I wrote this song today
I've been writing it for weeks
every good idea I have
is lost in my sleep
because the last five minutes are a blur
when you're losing it
I still don't know the truth about my
best friends funeral
I can't figure out what it's like to be over 18
I've been trying to for two years
I just can't tell you how
it seems
like a direction is infected and inflating my head
with vicious dreams that I can't see
I get ready for bed
and lie for hours
you're breething loudly
your mouth beside me
and I'm still horney
but you just ignore me
the first time i slept in the same bed with a girl
i styaed up all night looking at her
no thats a lie
but months of agrevation led me to cry out
please please me
I'm on my knees in my head
but i still can't sit still when I'm sitting in your bed

Fell in love with a traveling girl
she hated getting old
but loved me for the stories
at least I think she loved me
for the stories I told
Fell in love with an old girl from home
we drank wiskey and sang songs until the morning
but she never smiled unless I asked her why
and on the night that we both left
neither said goodbye
So I fell in love like a tambourine man
I can't sing like Stephen Merritt
but I'll always hold your hand
and if I stay forever it may be out of spite
but I'll never say I love you
Met a girl and I dug her summer hair
the only time she saddened me
was when I didn't see her face for weeks
but no "if onlys" nothing more
and the night that I left town
held her close and kissed her dear
name my daughter Eleanor
So I fell in love like a tambourine man
I can't sing like Stephen Merritt
but I'll always hold your hand
and if I stay forever it may be out of spite
but I'll never say I love you
when I mean to say goodnight

She's got two days left
two days left to relieve herself
of teenage age, teenage angst
almost got to get up and at them
almost out of time to sit and think
of the things you never want to do again
like thinking of him with her, or wearing fur
or worrying that your heart's not the cure
days get longer, years are shorter
moving closer to the border
say hey what else can you say?
to see what there is to be seen every different day
drive another road, try licking a toad
as my eyes get wide say I don't mind getting old
she is 19 and things are looking up like a submarine

there's a girl I want to get to know
but she won't let me
tried to show her I could go a while without (a while without)
but she's not like other girls
she hates it when I don't call her back
and she doesn't know what it means to be a team (to be a team)
tried to show her that I could go a while without
but she's not like other girls
she hates it when i don't call her back
I've got perfect vision,
well I wish I had perfect vision
so I could make it to the train on time
gotta make it to the train on time
she's got a lover, but that won't stop
I'll be another and keep it under the covers
behind doors
with tattoos and phone cards
of the temporary mind
but I've been sick for so long
I've been sick for so many songs
that I forget what it's like
to sleep through the night

When I say that I'm over it
it's a big lie
but you telling me that you're under me
is the killing kind
As I follow you down the track
and I follow you into the sack
and if I'm complaining
I'm worried your heart is waning
as a wimp I'm so vulnerable to attack
So kiss me on the cheek
and teach me all about the birds and the bees
cause on this loop-de-loop
your face is all I see
and cry out for me to be careful
from high above
and warn me about the perrils
of your love
as I follow you down the track
and I follow you into the sack
and if I'm complaining
I'm worried my heart is waning
as a wimp I'm so vulnerable to attack
