Sometimes I think I lived better as a child
I knew how to live for the day
I wasn’t afraid to be the wild one
An angel’s wings swept my worries away

Hello girl with the tilt eyed black hat
I just wanted to know if you like me like that
I don’t want to put you on the spot
But I’ve sent enough hints for the other shoe to drop

You need to know me like I know myself
So unsure of how I can please you
But the face you see may seem too sure
Believe me my love only my doubts are true

This is no dream and the sounds I make are real
In between the times your heart I would steal
And now when caution is killing the one I own
I can only say loving you is not why I am alone
