This Is How I Say Hello

I was thinking of words that I've never said Ones I've never heard coming out of my head I was dreaming of songs drifting all through the night Yes, the chords were so wrong, but the feeling was right This is how I say hello With a pat on the back, with a lump in my throat This is how I say hello With a shit-eating grin disappearing like smoke I was thinking of love meant for everyone else One just wasn't enough, I just can't help myself I was dreaming of stars shooting over the moon Hit me right in the heart where you know I will swoon This is how I say hello With a pat on the back, with a lump in my throat This is how I say hello With a shit-eating grin disappearing like smoke It feels like long ago that tomorrow Was all I had to forward to My hands were getting cold with no one to hold Then under the lamppost I saw you This is how I say hello This is how I say hello
