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'll promise just like I always do Though you like the songs I sing to you All the words are no longer true But I'll promise just like I always do I need to see 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'll promise just like I always do Though you like the songs I sing to you All the words are no longer true (like I always do) But I'll promise just like I always do
