Album: Sounds From The Gulf Stream

You And A Girl

Stood on tiptoes
To watch the last
Seconds of you
Disappear fast
Talking I said everything I don’t mean
Walking away, I feel sick seventeen

I lost my cool
Words slipped out wrong
Well maybe you’ll
Decode this song
Made you a tape to explain how I feel
Taped to escape this old world where I’m me

You and a girl in the back of a cab
Fooling around letting London fly past
I wish that I was that girl in that cab
I wish but you never see me like that . . . no

Every goodbye
Always the same
I think of how
Our hug will change
Suddenly something
Goes click in your heart
Suddenly somehow
We’re never apart

Harder to breathe
Each time you grin
Telling me secrets
I’m not in
Suddenly there is no more I can say
Suddenly somehow the words slip away

You and a girl run to catch the last train
Fooling around feeling lewd unconstrained
I wish that I was that girl in that train
I wish but you never see me that way . . . no

The way you hold my stare
The funny way you smile
The doofus clothes you wear
Sometimes things seem worthwhile
When you and me . . . No girl. A dream.
