lyrics

I saw you first
You didn’t notice me
I didn’t mind
I was just wandering
Out in the fields
Away from my misery
There you enlisted me
Into your mystery

She is the sunrise
Isn’t that what you said?
I played it over and over and over
as I lay in bed
But I am a stone
Washed on the shore
Just one in a million
And nothing more

So honey I don’t wanna know her
Don’t wanna lock eyes with the enemy
Don’t want her to see what’s inside of me
When I look at you
And honey board up all the windows
Paint this house black like the log in my eye
Ain’t hopin for much, and damned if I’ll try
So I don’t wanna know her

Was it a daydream
Oh the way that you laughed
How your eyes flickered with light before they turned to ash
Like a desert rose
Or a fleeting mirage
I’m chasing the memory
of a town that never was

And when you’re holding her closely
Be good to my heart
If I can’t have the whole
don’t offer me part
Don’t ask me to stay
inside of your smile
Just roll down the windows
and don’t speak for a little while

Cause honey I don’t wanna know her
Don’t wanna lock eyes with the enemy
Don’t want her to see what’s inside of me
When I look at you
And honey board up all the windows
Paint this house black like the log in my eye
Ain’t hopin for much, and damned if I’ll try
So I don’t wanna know her

So sing to me softly
Any tune that you know
And I’ll pretend the melody is mine
and mine alone
But I can’t find the key
And the chords come out wrong
And you fade into memory
Like a childhood song
