I've got a memory that isn't mine
No need to worry, I'm doing fine
No need to hurry, you'll get here when you get here. Take your time
But when you finally get here you will ease my aching mind
I moved to the city a few years ago
Thought you would hit me with a crushing blow
I thought you would attack me from behind but now I know
That I cannot be happy until I feel the punch you throw
And I said I built you up in my mind
I turned you into a goddess
But you will never be mine
Even though I've been trying my hardest
Cause you're royalty and I'm just a starving artist
Well I met this new chick, she's wicked smart
Major's in history, minor's in art
Sometimes we just hang out doing laps around Harvard Yard
I tried to write this song before I met her, but I kept getting lost at this part
Well don't you know I'm in a rock band and we play out
Every other weekend we make the people scream and shout
But then the weekend is over, and they're ain't nothing to write home about
I swear I'm a believer, but now and then I have my doubts
I said I built you up in my mind
I turned you into a goddess
But you will never be mine
Even though I've been trying my hardest
Cause you're royalty and I'm just a starving artist
I built you up...
I built you up in my mind
I turned you into a goddess
But you will never be mine
Even though I've been trying my hardest
Cause you're royalty and I'm just a starving artist
