In bed in the middle of the day Headphones cover my ears Hiding from responsibilities Wishing that you were here Hazy like the shadow of a dream You walk into the room Pull me with your eyes like tractor beams Im a wolf to your moon And you seem so sorry you left So sorry it took two months to find your bearings So sad to confess Youll probably do it again For some reason or other Im up for another Ride on the ferris wheel with you
Our first date is set for Tuesday night You confirm all my fears Broken plans for a quiet meal at home Candles cry waxy tears You show up a quarter after two Smelling like cigarettes Angry that I tried to kiss hello Why should you be upset? But you wont say anything real Im trying to understand another language Too scared to reveal Lets spend the night lying awake Never touching each other Im down with another Ride on the ferris wheel with you
Everybody has their ups and downs But we go round and round and round For a moment we may reach the sky But the price of admission is far too high
Sunlight swells between the dusty blinds You are blind to my pain So anxious I couldnt sleep at all While you snored like a train I get dressed and leave early for work Unwilling to live last night again tomorrow Ill only get hurt With someone who cant love herself Much less share love with others I cant bear another Ride on the ferris wheel with you.
