No Myth

So, she says it's time she goes

but wanted to be sure I know

she hopes we can be friends

I think, yeah, I guess we can say I

but didn't think to ask her why

she blocked her eyes and drew the curtains

with knots I've got yet to untie...

what if I were Romeo in black jeans

what if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth

maybe she's just looking for

someone to dance with

See, it was just too soon to tell

and looking for some parallel

can be an endless game

We said goodbye before hello

my secrets she will never know

and if I dig a hole to China

I'll catch the first junk to Soho

what if I were Romeo in black jeans

what if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth

maybe she's just looking for

someone to dance with

Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure

some things in life you cannot measure by degrees

I'm between the poles and the equator

don't send no private investigator to find me please

'less he speaks Chinese

and can dance like Astaire overseas

what if I were Romeo in black jeans

what if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth

maybe she's just looking for

someone to dance with
