I'm looking for something I can't say exactly what I will know it when I find it And it may be all I got Oh I know that there was peace I know that there was fun I take my private dreams And lie them in the sun Oh the spirit of the staircase What you wish you'd thought to say We don't speak like in the movies But we wish we did all day When you want me on your mind This isn't what you meant We had some perfect days And I wonder where they went I know that there were things That fell apart with age We reasoned with these feelings And they turned into a cage I'm done, give me the sun, no dysfunction I'm done, give me the sun, no dysfunction Oh I know that there was peace I know that there was fun I took my private dreams And lie them in the sun I know that there were things That fell apart with age We reasoned with these feelings And they turned into a cage
