Hey, kid--good morning-- You look like an angel. I don't remember when we fell asleep. We should get up, kid-- Cathy is waiting...
Look at us, lying here, Dreaming, pretending. I made a promise and I took a vow. I wrote a story, And we changed the ending-- Cathy, just look at me now!
Hold on, facts are facts-- Just relax, lay low. All right, the panic recedes: Nobody needs to know.
Put on my armor-- I'm off to Ohio. Back into battle 'til I don't know when. Swearing to her that I Never was with you, And praying I'll hold you again.
Hold on, clip these wings-- Things get out of hand. All right, it's over, it's done-- No one will understand. No one will understand...
We build a treehouse, I keep it from shaking-- Little more glue ev'ry time that it breaks. Perfectly balanced, And then I start making Conscious, deliberate mistakes.
All that I ask for Is one little corner-- One private room at the back of my heart. Tell her I found one, She sends out battalions To claim it and blow it apart.
I grip and she grips, And faster, we're sliding. Sliding and spilling, and what can I do? Come back to bed, kid-- Take me inside you-- I promise I won't lie to you.
Hold on, don't cry yet-- I won't let you go. All right--the panic recedes; All right--everyone bleeds; All right--I get what I need, And nobody needs To know. Nobody needs to know.
And since I have to be in love with someone, Since I need to be in love with someone, Maybe I could be in love with someone Like you...
