Oh I can’t sleep because I can’t get you off’a my mind.
Stare into your eyes all day, but your face would leave me blind.
It’s not a question of the girls I left behind.
For you I’d do anything so please don’t waste my time.
You’re the whole of my endeavors,
and you torment me forever;
You always are just standing out of reach.
I’d cross the open ocean,
but I’m torn by this emotion,
cause I don’t think you’d be standing there to see.
And I can’t find an answer to the problems I can’t solve;
It’s all just mathematics, but the pen and paper have dissolved.
And I find no resolve, I only find regret.
I only think you’re perfect cause we haven’t really met.
And I can’t find a reason, I only need a rhyme,
I’m lying in here singing while my dreams leave me behind.
And out there in the sun, oh out there on parade;
Eating all their ice cream and drinking lemonade.
I’ve left those times to far behind I can’t even recall,
stuck here in this cubicle; I’m staring at the wall.
One of but a million leaves,
on one of but a billion trees;
grow me up and blow me round,
I’m spinning till I hit the ground.
Lost here in this dizzy life,
a victim of my own device;
If ever I was meant to fly,
I’d think the time was now.
