I called you so we could see each other
So many things occur to me
Starting with getting together so we don't
I let you bring your pajamas, since I
Don't sleep well at night
For once, I'm asking you to understand
That this isn't a story that I make up
For once, I'm asking you to understand
For once, I'm asking you to understand
I called you so we could see each other
So many things occur to me
Starting with getting together so we don't
I let you bring your pajamas, since I
Don't sleep well at night
A river runs through my bed
And in the river a herd drinks in the sun
And a motionless shepherd seated at my feet
For once, I'm asking you to understand
That this isn't a story that I make up
For once, I'm asking you to understand
For once, I'm asking you to understand
I run terrified, getting away from everyone
Losing myself in the skin of a hunted pariah
I left behind a circus rich in tinsel
I wanted to tell you and that you'd be all ears
I called you so we could see each other
So many things occur to me
For once, I'm asking you to understand
That this isn't a story that I make up
For once, I'm asking you to understand
For once, I'm asking you to understand
I called you so we could see each other
I called you so we could see each other
So many things occur to me
