Paper Moon

you dont know how many times her eyes fix on you
with a concentrating stare
so close to getting inside she is swimming through
not really going anywhere

and you will never know (you will never know)
you will never know
she is
retreating again
unable to feel this much
so close to hiding away and your hopelessly hoping she'll stay

you dont know how many times she has read your words
that she was not supposed to read
and you dont know how she can wear all her feelings on her sleeve
there for anyone to see

and you will never know (you will never know)
you will never know
she is
retreating again
unable to feel this much
so close, to hiding away
and your hopelessly hoping she'll stay
your hopelessly hoping she'll stay

someday perhaps she might see all your secrets revealed
someday
someday
someday

do do dododododo

she is
restreating again
unable to feel this much
so close to hiding away
but your hopelessly hoping she'll stay
your hopelessly hoping she'll stay

dodo
dododododod

The leaves are turning
Shades of gold falling to the ground
It takes me back to
Better days when you were still around

But i cannot go on without your memory
Even though it hurts to be inside of me

I already know how you feel
I don't mean that much to you
Close my eyes pretend you are here
One side is black
Impossible to not look back

The moon is waxing
Then it's full waiting to extend
It never looks back
Moons ahead carries no regrets

But i am not so strong dwelling constantly
It's clear you have moved on much too easily

I already know how you feel
I don't mean that much to you
Close my eyes pretend you are here
One side is red
A glimmer of a ???

The summer sun has been lost
To winter chills of ice and snow
Can i create warmth in the cold?
Remember what i knew long ago

I already know how you feel
I don't mean that much to you
Close my eyes pretend you are here
When the sky is blue
I'll no longer think of
When the sky is blue
I'll no longer think of you
I'll no longer think of you
I'll no longer think of you
I'll no longer think of you

Bottle of wine that hadn't been opened yet
We forgot about it while you were here
And a string of blinking lights
That can now be put away

And it's almost midnight here
We're all about to ring in
A new year, a new year

And I won't call you for another hour
One more hour
'Cause it's your time somewhere

It happens all over again
All over again, all over again
All over again

Just a couple more days 'til I fly away
From this lovely place, my short lived home
Saying goodbye is much easier now
Looking forward to a bitter cold

And it's almost time to land
The city's changed as much as a small city can
But change isn't why I'm coming back
It's your familiar life where it happens

All over again
All over again

Saying goodbye is so much easier now
Looking forward to a bitter cold

And it's almost time to land
The city's changed as much as a small city can
But change isn't why I'm coming back
It's your familiar life where it happens

All over again, all over again
All over again, all over again
All over again, all over again
All over again, all over again

Thinking, thinking of things that are never easy to think about
Slowly, slowly losing all the sad dates that's been dealt out
Oh you know I would, you know I...

I would start over again if I could

But nothing could be erased,
Nothing can be erased
Everyone knows I'm less than perfect
Everyone knows I'm less than perfect

Moving, moving on has been harder than it should be
Many, so many distractions to help me on my way
Oh you know I would, you know I...

I would start over again if I could
I would start over again if I could

But nothing can be erased,
Nothing can be erased
Everyone knows I'm less than perfect
Everyone knows I'm less than perfect

But nothing can be erased,
Nothing can be erased
Everyone knows I'm less than perfect
Everyone knows I'm less than perfect

What a surprise, I'm less than...

These new friends of yours
Speak of ashes and dust
Where are they taking us?
Feels like the end but we're justbeginning

These new friends of yours
Won't show their faces to me
They stand in shadows
But I can see they're always near

And I've no time for them
Can we leave them behind?
We'll lose them in the sunshine

Standing right here,
Saying the nicest things
Why won't you listen?
Why won't you listen?

Standing right here,
Saying the nicest things
Why won't you listen?
Why won't you listen?
Listen

Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

They teach you to dim
All the bright spots in your life
Steer into the dark and imagine
How bad it could be
Could be

I'm standing right here,
Saying the nicest things
Why won't you listen?
Why won't you listen?
I'm standing right here,
Saying the nicest things
Why won't you listen?
Why won't you listen?
Listen
