lyrics

I used to be that guy
Who sat dejected, waiting on a valentine
I used to be that guy
The one with loneliness streaming hard across his eyes
And then you came around
And tapped your foot just hard enough to be found
I hadn't figured out someone so stellar
Could push me through the crowd

And the crowd keeps shaking and everybody's quaking it
You've got another song
And the crowd keeps shaking and everybody's digging it
But you've got another song

I used to wrack my brain
A not-so-Superman looking for his Lois Lane
When only time remains
It's hard to rise up, let alone to not feel drained
But then you shouted, "Yes"
And peeled away all the caffeine and old regrets
And if I had to guess it's safe to say
I don't need to hedge my bets

I want to love you like a hotel lobby worker
Confined behind his counter making eyes at everyone he sees
I want to love you like the back of a casino
Just blinded by the flashlights eroding all my memories
I want to love you like a pair of one way tickets
That shine with adolescent dreams of Disneyland
'Cause everything gets easier with two lives in the band
