Cockatoo Lyrics - Singles - Jeff Jacobs

Better than I Imagined, 

Better than I hoped for and prayed. 

Here tonight, gone today. 

But I like it that way. 

Thinkin' about a moment, 

I can never seem to replace. 

It's the look in your face, 

When I lean in to say, 

That your heart isn't mine. 

But please could I borrow it? 

I'll give it right back in the morning light. 

In a world of regret, 

With a head full of emptiness, 

A wish that will never come true. 

But at least I'm enjoying the view. 

Somebody else's lover, 

Tellin' me that I'm her best friend. 

But I cannot pretend, 

That is not what I meant. 

Give it another minute, 

Later we will say our farewells. 

I'm not done with you still. 

You were there when I fell. 

It was easy to tell, 

That your heart isn't mine. 

But please could I borrow it? 

I'll give it right back in the morning light. 

In a world of regret, 

With a head full of emptiness, 

A wish that will never come true. 

But at least I'm enjoying the view. 

I'm not asking for oceans, 

Of endless devotion. 

Just give me an hour or two. 

Here's a door and some music. 

I suggest that you use it. 

It's the language of lover's "adeui" 

Parlez-vous? 

And your heart isn't mine. 

So please could I borrow it? 

I'll give it right back in the morning light. 

In a world of regret, 

With a head full of emptiness, 

A wish that will never come true. 

But at least I'm enjoying the view. 

I know some things weren't meant to pursue. 

I'm not leaving till you know it too.
