lyrics

is it too song to write a song for you
cause when i'm falling in love
i don't know what else to do

yeah she's lodged in my head
with the strength of a hundred-thousand-million
and i can't go to sleep
no i can't give pause
to what's hiding in her bedside drawers
and if i never make any sense
if it comes with a couple of dents
no i never had the courage
never had the means
to tell you all the details
the mundane things
so i'll speak in clues
let me speak in clues

is it too soon to write a song for you...

yeah you wanna daydream, dream to come true
you wanna hold the strings, the strings of a fool
i can feel your breathing
i can hear your sigh
holy misery when we wonder why
and i'll throw you on my back
yeah, i carry all your weight
like the american man i made you believe i am
but you'll leave it alone
leave it alone and let me wonder why

is it too song to write a song for you...
