lyrics

I can be a can of hairspray in her fireplace
All hiss and cuss and fuss as I start to spin
She doesn’t panic when I lose my head
She kindly lends me hers instead
And we waltz right out of the flames like conjoined twins

If I could be any closer to her I would be her shadow
Stretched out before her, tall in the sunset gold
And in the night I wouldn’t have to hide
Because she’d turn on all the house lights
And dance with herself ‘till dawn and never be alone

She don’t know it, or maybe she does
And if she doesn’t, well it’s probably because I talk too much anyway
She can’t hear me, or maybe she can
Maybe it’s me who doesn’t understand
There’s only one thing I need to say

Keep it simple, stupid, three chords are enough
Say your peace and then shut up
No introduction, no fanfare
Just play the one that you wrote for her
And let the curtain fall / And don’t that beat all?

She’s the kind of sleep you can only dream of
She sings every song in every key
She shouldn’t worry if when I drop by
The dishes are piled eye-high
We’ll Kumbaya by stove light and drink iced cream

She can’t hear me, or maybe she can
Maybe it’s me who doesn’t understand there’s only one thing to say
She don’t know it, or maybe she does
And if she doesn’t, well it’s probably because
I talk too much anyway

We play professor and the student, but we both take turns
I know enough to know I’ve got more to learn
Both feet in my mouth, both arms in the air
I get all fired up when I’m ‘round her
Well I love her sure, that ain’t nothing new
What’s crazy is that I like her too
I take a curtain call / And don’t that beat all?
