Should have never crossed your path   Funny things you want the most   Should soon be taken back   Slap my own hands like a child   Stealing from the candy store   I think I've taken to your smile      And I hunger for your laugh   Do the craziest things like look around   When I know you're nowhere near me   Break my back on a song   Though I know you're not there to hear      Unanswered questions lying on the coffee table   From a song I haven't finished since last summer   Cause I never could decide how much was gin   How much the sea   Or other incidentals clouding what was really me      Everything I am is bare feet and burning sand   Waiting for the calm cool hand of the sea      A madman of emotions waiting for the drug effect   Of the reason and the intellect to comfort me      Half the time I love you like you love the fall's first breeze   Then you seem as distant as the skeletons of trees   Far away outside my window   Where inside I think of you   As if I thought hard enough I'd know which way to turn   And what to do      Ooh   Ooh   Ooh   Ooh      I'm quite sure I'll be alright   We all live with some distraction   It's just too bad   Mine will hang around all day and night   Like an uninvited guest   You can't turn away try hard as you might   Lord knows I've tried      I might let it go and take a long long run   Quit my job and join the coastline baking in the sun   Then again I might just make big plans   And leave them on the table   Like the song I left unfinished   And the words I am unable   I will always be unable to express      Ooh   Ooh   Ooh   Ooh
