where was i when you teased me
seems like i am just following the bait
where was our lives
when we were young
where did our future hide?

i met a fantastic friend
just standing there
all alone they will be
i left a fantastic friend
and wondered if they ever think of me

when i am walking through the night
are the things i meet
things that really exist
if i were away for a week
would i be missed

she is a girl
that i could watch close
inches from her smile
stay a minute, stay a while

i am tentative in my approach
i am tired of meeting the strange
i do not need their hang ups
they end up being my own

a luxury liner reclining in decadence
i should have been told
that life’s seas are a nonsense

i do not want to get attached
because i am scared of getting hurt
but i do not want to remain detached
because i really like you
