JAMIE<br>

Hey, kid - good morning<br>

You look like an angel<br>

I don't remember when we fell asleep<br>

We should get up, kid<br>

Cathy is waiting...<br>

<br>

Look at us, lying here<br>

Dreaming, pretending<br>

I made a promise and I took a vow<br>

I wrote a story<br>

And we changed the ending<br>

Cathy, just look at me now!<br>

<br>

Hold on, facts are facts<br>

Just relax, lay low<br>

All right, the panic recedes:<br>

Nobody needs to know<br>

<br>

Put on my armore<br>

I'm off to Ohio<br>

Back into battle till<br>

I don't know when<br>

Swearing to her that I was<br>

Never with you<br>

And praying I"ll hold you again<br>

<br>

Hold on, clip these wings -<br>

Things get out of hand<br>

All right, it's over, it's done<br>

No one will understand<br>

No one will understand...<br>

<br>

We build a treehouse<br>

I keep it from shaking<br>

Little more glue every time that it breaks<br>

Perfectly balanced<br>

And then I start making<br>

Conscious, deliberate mistakes<br>

<br>

All that I ask for<br>

Is one little corner<br>

One private room<br>

At the back of my heart<br>

Tell her I found one<br>

She sends out battalions<br>

To claim it and blow it apart<br>

<br>

I grip and she grips<br>

And faster we're sliding<br>

Sliding and spilling<br>

And what can I do?<br>

Come back to bed, kid<br>

Take me inside you<br>

I pormise I won't lie to you<br>

<br>

Hold on, don't cry yet<br>

I won't let you go<br>

All right - the panic recedes<br>

All right - everyone bleeds<br>

All right - I get what I need<br>

And nobody needs to know<br>

Nobody needs to know<br>

<br>

And since I have to be in love with someone<br>

Since I need to be in love with someone<br>

Maybe I could be in love with someone<br>

Like you...<br>

<br>
