i left your bed like a dream you had   when your heavy eyelids started to split   and the light shined through   between your outstretched toes and onto your forehead   i couldnt grasp a word you said   you know you talk so fast when you're nervous   as if you fear that your thoughts will escape before you push them off your lips   you said before you go   just grab a coat   the weather man says its going to snow   so just wrap a scarf around your throat and keep your heartbeat constant so you veins keep warm   keep your tiny eyes closed   keep them stuck til i get home   just pretend that you're sleeping   'cause when you wake i want to be the first thing in focus that you see   you've got a camera lens in your eye sockets but its too late because we're already developing.      sara have you decided to leave your castle of pillows, blankets, and sheets   have you tied your shoes around your feet   to keep away from the cold concrete   'cause while i spend my days away at school   i worry that you're not keeping warm   so when the last bell rings, im rushing home   cutting through the neighbor's backyard.   but you've wrapped yourself in designer jeans    like the buldge you see in the magazines   i hope your fabrics spick, and double seemed   and keeps your finger tips inside of your pockets   keep your tiny eyes closed   keep them shut til i get home   just pretend that you're sleeping   'cause when you wake i want to be   the first thing in focus that you see   you've got a camera lens in your eye sockets   but its too late because we're already developing   its so cold out here   in new jersey   i told you to stay under covers   i told you so you would stay warm   its so cold out here   in new jersey   i told you to stay under covers   i told you so you would stay warm   its so cold out here   in new jersey   i told to stay under covers   i told you so you would stay warm   its so cold out here   in new jersey   i told you to stay under covers   i told you so you would stay warm   its so cold out here   in new jersey   i told to stay under covers   i told you so you would stay warm   its so cold out here   in new jersey   i, i, i told you to stay under covers   i told you so you would stay warm   i left your bed   like a dream you had
