On the steps of the porch of your father's house
I am contemplating my day
And the only one who's moving through this world
The same is me is standing inches away
I wouldn't mind, no I
I wouldn't mind sitting next to you
I wouldn't mind, no I
I wouldn't mind holding hands with a you
In the hour that my focus was hopelessly broken
I wasn't thinking it through
My sweet loss of reason was on trial for treason
I'd betray just for you
I wasn't trying, no I
I wasn't tryin to be the heroic fool
I wasn't trying, no I
I wasn't tryin to be in love with you
But the stars offered you a way to evade
The mundane streets
The dull esplanade
The unquiet mind
The false calvacade
The comfortable grind
The pedestrian trade
On the steppes of the plains the invisible hordes
They will carry us away
And the nameless numbers of slumbered lovers
They will wake themselves today
Can't keep from crying, no I
Can't keep from crying, what else can I do?
Can't keep from crying, no I
Can't keep from crying
I am run right through
'Cause the stars offered you a way to evade
The mundane streets
The dull esplanade
The unquiet mind
The false calvacade
The comfortable grind
The pedestrian trade
