How you stole my gaze on the first day
You were everywhere like a subway
At the summer's end
When things start to fade and die
On the second day we saw shooting stars
On the arm of a tattooed boy
By the afternoon we were starry too
Starry dizzy from the things we saw
Suddenly you're not mine
Suddenly we're into winter
Well, did you always know I'd never be right?
You've taken your time to put on the brake light
What if the days draw in and you haven't found your one?
Will you come back and see if I could be someone?
We had sunny spells and occasional rain
You were overcast throughout
We had bah, bah, bah, doo, wah
You wanted la, de, da, de, la, de, da, da
Suddenly there's bad times
And I have to pull the bunting down
Good thing there's no time
To make a song and dance
Well, did you always know I'd never be right?
You've taken your time to put on the brake light
What if the days draw in and still haven't found your one?
Will you come back and see if I could be someone?
