Downtown crossing never looked so lonely
Paper plates and plastic treys in the morning
The weather's fine but the mood is stormy

I'm coming out to see myself
I'm coming out to see myself in you
I've got a couple bucks in my pocket yawning
A couple tricks up my sleeve I'm waiting
For the right time to strike up a conversation with you

Better days and better times
Better ways and better lines
You better be damn sure how you feel about me
Cuz I will surprise you
I will surprise you

Be careful my dear
I will surprise you ya hear
I will surprise you
I will surprise you
Be careful my dear
You might like something that you don't hear
Christmas lights never looked so evil

I miss you more now than I ever have
I walk along this rope to reach you
Give me reason or give me rhyme
Give me time hit my stride will you?
Cuz I have some things I keep inside
You say I'm good but I hypnotize
Look around you and all you're gonna see are lies

A pretty face
A pretty smile
Pretty soon
In a little while
You're gonna find out who you really are
And it will surprise you
It will surprise you

Be careful my dear
It will surprise you ya hear?
I will surprise you
I will surprise you
Be careful my dear
You might like something that you don't..

I will surprise you
I will surprise you
Be careful my dear
I will surprise you ya hear
I will surprise you
I will surprise you
Be careful my dear

You might like something that you don't
You might like something that you don't
You might like something that you don't hear
