lyrics

You always think I’m acting when I’m not
well I admit I often stretch what’s true
now you don’t take me seriously when I’ve got
to tell you what I really think of you

You act as if you want me
or maybe that’s just how you make it seem
you know I never find it easy
to figure out just what these things could mean

We were sitting in the hollow in the sun
blowing into dandelion clocks
were you wishing for something or just someone
who played the critic in ‘The Cardboard Box’

I work better when I have friends around
to help and fill the silence between us
or I could head to HTI downtown
I always loved it when you played Alice

Quit taking off your glasses
It always makes you look less good to me
And while another minute passes
You put them in their case and cross the street

I don’t mean to upset you
I do this all the time
You’re climbing out your window
with your rings around your eyes

Now this is what I always want to do
And this is how I always with I’d feel
but when I’m finally on the grass with you
I find that I’ve got nothing to reveal

I guess I’d be content to stay away
and drop your name into my latest song
I can’t think of a better waste of my day
I’ll sit down in my studio and move on

You remind me of my sleep and when I dream
when the restrictions of reality are freed
your skin is of the whitest shades I’ve seen
and you’re wearing the glasses that you use to read

I don’t mean to upset you
I do this all the time
You’re climbing out your window
with your rings around your eyes
