i wanna' be at the beach, listening to the tides crash.
i wanna' be in the forests, breathing nature into my lungs.
i wanna' be by the lakes, gazing into a vast reflection of the horizon.
i wanna' be there, writing songs about life, love, hope, tragedy, death.
i wanna' write songs about you, and songs about me.
maybe one day, i'll write songs about us.
so she says
"everyone's going to the party,
won't you come if i come
with a friend for your friend?
i'd be so pleased to see you
out of the classroom
wearing the smile that i'll bring you
i was hoping to learn a few things like...
do you do you like dashing the dirt
on the whole class
or talking the big smack
or playing the fool
or wearing all of the latest fashions
or bucking the new trends
wearing your old threads
or if you like coffee in the evening?
these are a few things
that i'd like to know
that i'd like to know..."
so i say
"i've been scheduled to work but i'll call in
and my friend isn't busy
he'd be happy to join me
and maybe my friend
and your friend
will hit it off
or maybe...
we will?
i'm dying to know
do you do you like dreaming of things
so impossible
or only the practical
or ever the wild
or waiting through all your bad bad days
just to end them with
someone you care about
but do you like making out
and long drives
and brown eyes
and guys that just don't quite fit in
do you like them?
so yes...
i'll see
you there."
