Hey Now

lyrics

My girl, she’s a hard one, yeah I have no doubt
She’s got a perception that I can’t figure out
Some days it’s electric but sometimes it’s a joke y’no
That we can’t seem to make it work like all the other folk

And I said “Why do we always seem to be here?”
And she said “Why do you always have to be there?”
Well isn’t it clear?

Hey now, can’t you just come here and settle down?
Hey now, life is so much clearer on the ground

My girl, the dreamer of spaces in between
She tells me that she’s high on life but I have never seen
One day she believes it and knows it in her soul
She clings to scraps of past and faded love to make her whole

And she says “Don’t leave me here, ’cause I can’t bear
To eyeball myself when you’re not here.
All this common ground we used to share,
We’ve ripped it away by the things that we’ve learned to fear.”
