Waiting for my friend to wake up So we can talk in the night Like the old days Though you like the songs I sing to you All the words they are untrue But I promise just like I always do Though you like the songs I sing to you All the words are no longer true But I promise just like I always do I try to see the world the world through her eyes now It seems she thinks all leaves are butterflies now Though you like the songs I sing to you All the words they are untrue But I promise just like I always do Though you like the songs I sing to you All the words are no longer true But I promise just like I always do
