Get Around

Lost in a dream, got lost in a dream Clawed my way out, now I'm wondering Could this feeling linger longer? Could I sing it in a song? Tables and doors, ceilings and floors Grab the attention of my eyes But my mind is elsewhere It's somewhere up there I'm flying high while she pays the bus fare I wander time and again But she knows how to get around She's a nine, she's a ten She's a star in a sleepy town She's my baby, knows how to get around Maybe I've fallen a little too hard Jump to conclusions, she can't jump that far She can't make the leap I bought a vase and now I keep it in my closet Till the day that she can see that I was honest And I only ever wanted to be home I wander time and again But she knows how to get around She's a nine, she's a ten She's a star in a sleepy town She's my baby, knows how to get around So I wait by the door And I wait till I hear the sound I don't change anymore 'Cause I think that I got it down You know better, know how to get around Ooh, my subconscious thought turned off Ooh, my inner dialogue's alive And asking pressing questions back and forth But I won't hide behind the metaphor Won't you please ask me to leave Wear your backbone on your sleeve You know better Won't you please ask me to leave Wear your backbone on your sleeve You know better I wander time and again But she knows how to get around She's a nine, she's a ten She's a star in a sleepy town She's my baby, knows how to get around (Won't you please ask me to leave) So I wait by the door And I wait till I hear the sound (Wear your backbone on your sleeve) I don't change anymore 'Cause I think that I got it down You know better, know how to get around Won't you please ask me to leave Wear your backbone on your sleeve You know better (She's my baby) Everybody likes to talk, kid Everybody likes it overblown Everybody likes to come to their conclusions on their own But you know better Everybody likes to talk, kid But they don't like talkin' when everyone's around Everybody likes to hide their face When they must face the crowd But you know better, know how to get around I wander time and again But she knows how to get around She's a nine, she's a ten She's a star in a sleepy town She's my baby, knows how to get around So I wait by the door And I wait till I hear the sound I don't change anymore 'Cause I think that I got it down
