Should have never crossed your path

Funny things you want the most

Should soon be taken back

Slap my own hands like a child

Stealing from the candy store

I think i've taken to your smile



And i hunger for your laugh

Do the craziest things like look around

When i know you're nowhere near me

Break my back on a song

Though i know you're not there to hear



Unanswered questions lying on the coffee table

From a song i haven't finished since last summer

Cause i never could decide how much was gin

How much the sea

Or other incidentals clouding what was really me



Everything i am is bare feet and burning sand

Waiting for the calm cool hand of the sea



A madman of emotions waiting for the drug effect

Of the reason and the intellect to comfort me



Half the time i love you like you love the fall's first breeze

Then you seem as distant as the skeletons of trees

Far away outside my window

Where inside i think of you

As if i thought hard enough i'd know which way to turn

And what to do



Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh



I'm quite sure i'll be alright

We all live with some distraction

It's just too bad

Mine will hang around all day and night

Like an uninvited guest

You can't turn away try hard as you might

Lord knows i've tried



I might let it go and take a long long run

Quit my job and join the coastline baking in the sun

Then again i might just make big plans

And leave them on the table

Like the song i left unfinished

And the words i am unable

I will always be unable to express



Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh
