Stood on tiptoes to watch   The last seconds of you disappear fast   Talking, I said everything I don’t mean   Walking away, I feel sick, seventeen      I lost my cool, words slipped out wrong   Well, maybe you’ll decode this song   Made you a tape to explain how I feel   Taped to escape this old world where I’m me      You and a girl in the back of a cab   Fooling around, letting London fly past   I wish that I was that girl in that cab   I wish, but you never see me like that, no      Every goodbye always the same   I think of how our hug will change   Suddenly something goes click in your heart   Suddenly somehow we’re never apart      Harder to breathe each time you grin   Telling me secrets I’m not in   Suddenly there is no more I can say   Suddenly somehow the words slip away      You and a girl run to catch the last train   Fooling around, feeling lewd, unconstrained   I wish that I was that girl in that train   I wish, but you never see me that way, no      The way you hold my stare   The funny way you smile   The doofus clothes you wear   Sometimes things seem worthwhile   When you and me...   No girl...   A dream
