Well, you loved her twelve dollars
And four coffee shops ago,
When you picked up that message
And pressed decode,
But that blinking streetlight
Is slowing down.
Facing the enigma,
You’re coming around.
Things look pretty good from where I stand,
But what do I know? There’s so much smoke.
You insist on calling God from my plan.
Don’t you know? That bill will leave me broke.
I can almost taste the dreams in the palm of your hand.
You let them show the moment you spoke.
As you leave behind her present
And unwrap your past,
You’ve got to tell me if you
Found a love that will last.
Otherwise we’re just sitting here
To re-play out history.
You only found a mirror where
You wanted a mystery.
Things look pretty good from where I stand,
But what do I know? There’s so much smoke.
You insist on calling God from my plan.
Don’t you know? That bill will leave me broke.
I can almost taste the dreams in the palm of your hand.
You let them show the moment you spoke.
And she tries not to notice it’s her you need.
She’s never had anyone else to believe.
You think the puppet strings she holds lead to your heart,
But she put down her soul when she picked up that guitar.
Things look pretty good from where I stand,
But what do I know? There’s so much smoke.
You insist on calling God from my plan.
Don’t you know? That bill will leave me broke.
I can almost taste the dreams in the palm of your hand.
You let them show the moment you spoke.
