lyrics

She got me lit
but she did not exist
she was a figment
of my imagination
Dallas is the town
where all the pretty girls are found
and the fact i've never been
has got me feeling awfully foolish

cause oh no, no
what have I done?
I let slip another one
oh when I got home
I felt so sick that I could die

Oh why didn't I just wait around?
and tell a clever joke or two before she split town
then at least I could pretend I know how to play her strings

Well weeks have gone by
and like a flower I am wilting heavy sighs
and gushing hopeless laughter
cause through all of this stories plot twists
i'll fasten my grip while feeling awfully foolish

As I sit here trying to grow
and just keep passing the open windows
because sorrow floats to help us cope
with all the love that downs

So contently I'll just wait around
and tell clever joke to the next girl who comes round
and I wont have to pretend, cause I'll know how to play her strings
and the world will stop to hear every song that we sing
