Bathed in sunlight woke from dreams
of murderous intention
Pursued by dogs and men and things
I'm just too scared to mention
And the first thing that I think of
are her sympathetic eyes
That see with only positive emotion
And she talks of being grumpy,
but I know that grumpy's not her style
And I soak up all her beauty
'cause I'm only here awhile
And I muddle through my docket,
nestle in the pocket
Just sit back and think about the world
And the only thing I see
when she's looking back at me
Is the promise of how life could be
And as I wrote my chest got tight for her
I know that I'm not right for her
and I couldn't live
if I ever caused her pain
But at least I have a message
that I can leave
that tells her of this spin inside
My gears turning,
I'm still learning to trust myself
But at least I've told her
of this difficult good-bye
Seven minutes before
I'm leaving and now my chest is heaving
I just can't go like I did before
And tomorrow I'll be miles away and dreaming
That she hears my voice
floating through the floor
