Hey, I'm sorry if I go too fast
Tonight let's pretend that this will last
I've got a dream you would like to sleep on, too

Oh, I'm sorry to dwell on the past
I'd better say nothing at all
But I've got this friend who thinks he's in love with you

And it doesn't sum it up to say he's singin' the blues
And whoever learned to walk in somebody else's shoes
He's screaming because he's found something to lose

So you're living in Eden where apples are good
But every narrow miracle takes place on earth

Yeah, the militia have arrived and the percussion has come
And I'm pounding out messages loud on the drum
The rumours have started that we are both young
Lions in my own garden (exit someone)

That's what I say when you just stay out of reach

And it doesn't sum it up to say I'm singin' the blue
And whoever learned to walk in somebody else's shoes
I'm screaming because I've found something to lose
Yeah, it doesn't sum it up to say I'm singin' the blues
And whoever learned to walk in somebody else's shoes
I'm screaming because I've found something to lose

And I'm pounding out messages loud on the drum
The rumours have started that we are both young
Lions in my own garden (exit someone)
