FOR EXAMPLE

I once knew a girl, we called her 'For example'
You’re not gonna find out why
Thinking back to the time makes me wish I was a teenage boy
I’d do things so much differently now.
The feeling in my stomach, so hard for me to recreate
The ignorance because of my youth.
The thought of any danger would heighten all my senses
And she was at the root of it.

Obsession in our minds and lives, I’d wait...
hoping she’d notice me.
Possession of our thoughts and our time, I’d wait...
hoping she’d notice me.
(but she didn't and she's keeping me awake at night)

I once knew a girl we called her 'For example'
Everything Good on our list.
From her head to her toe, a perfection that was out of reach
We never knew the way we should act.
She never suspected, she never could have known the truth,
The hours we would spend in a dream.
The thought of her attention, the time I always hoped would come Keeping me awake at night.

Obsession in our minds and lives, I’d wait...
hoping she’d notice me
Possession of our thoughts and our time, I’d wait...
hoping she’d notice me
She is a mystery, she’s got that something,
She’s like a siren, she lessens my bravado.
She is a superstar, she’s so enchanting, she is an idol...
A Hayworth/Kelly/Garbo

She is a ten out of ten, she got a ten out of ten.

I tried so hard to find her within another context
To see if the fire was still there
(but she wasn’t there)

Obsession in our minds and lives, I’d wait...
hoping she’d notice me
Possession of our thoughts and our time, I’d wait...
hoping she’d notice me
She is a mystery, she’s got that something,
She’s like a siren, she lessens my bravado.
She is a superstar, she’s so enchanting, she is an idol...
A Hayworth/Kelly/Garbo
