lyrics; me

//

knew your name

so i said a prayer

they sound the same

when i let out the air

i've seen your game

the clothes you wear

before you came

i was never one to stare

i've been idle,

i've said nothing new

grown a bit entitled

to the ideals i've found in you

lord knows i've acted a child

at a loss for what to do

so I just sat around a while,

engrossed by the view

cackling laughter is ringing above

pure in the moment and white as a dove

your eyes are dancing

i see it well

my resolve collapsing

but can you tell?

we speak in passing

we talk a spell

flowers for romancin

pinned to my lapel

i've been idle,

i've said nothing new

grown a bit entitled

to the ideals i've found in you

lord knows i've acted a child

at a loss for what to do

so I just sat around a while,

engrossed by the view

cackling laughter is ringing above

pure in the moment and white as a dove

sweat ran over the palms of my hand

like rivers along the cities of Vietnam

in that café i was too cowardly then to take a stand

i was too cowardly then, too cowardly then.

cackling laughter is ringing above

pure in the moment and white as a dove

cackling laughter is ringing above

pure in the moment and white as a dove

i've been idle,

i've said nothing new

i've been idle,

i've said nothing new
