Saw you in my lifetime as it's walking by
(It's just sometimes, I nearly cry)
Sometimes
Shades of day old blossoms keep me up at night
And I only live beyond your precious time
(It's true for I, though I still try)
For I
Could never be baby blue in your brown eyes
It's the summertime
This coming home
These palindromes and old souls, if they're true
Oh baby I'd love you
And if I'm there
If I'm still there and I don't care
Oh baby I'd love to
Damn! I'll never be your pop-star boyfriend!
(I would turn it back, right back
Take it all straight back to your arms
I would turn it back, right back
Take it all straight back to your arms)
(And it was just that easy!
And it was just that easy!
Come on!)
When they ask 'bout me, huh, tell 'em
Heaven-sent soul! Heart of gold!
But just young enough to feel that he's still old
But it's all to you, even when I'm alone
(Oh don't you know in such a show)
Don't you know
That you're the biggest stage in all this rock and roll?
Oh I don't know
Give me love or give me war
What else is living for
And I'm stuck in the day before
Reaching to yesterday for warmth
(And I'm)
To ashamed to cry for help
But every time that I see you my heart just melts
And I feel a little broken
Can't stay here but I'm never going home
This coming home
These palindromes and old souls, if they're true
Oh baby I'd love you
And if I'm there
If I'm still there and I don't care
Oh baby I'd love to
Damn! I'll never be your pop-star boyfriend!
(I would turn it back, right back
Take it all straight back to your arms
I would turn it back, right back
Take it all straight back to your arms)
(And it was just that easy!
And it was just that easy!)
