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 brakelight
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 brakelight
What if the days draw in and you still haven't found your one?
Will you come back and see if I could be someone?
