The sky grows bigger every day
And the other week I hopped on a train
Cutting through state lines

To come to you as the crow flies
And out there in there offing everything was melon and orange


Did you know, my sweet
That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?


I just want you to know
That every pool of water reminds me of you
Is that all right?

I hope you think it's cool
'Cause sometimes a train can't go as fast as I want it to


Did you know, my sweet
That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
I rolled over and over

Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets (X2)

Everything seemed a little easier

When we weren't one hundred miles apart
The person across from me
Sitting in her train seat, reminded me of you


And I looked out past her cheeks
Through the glass-light conduit

But the sun had sunk already
Disappeared into New Jersey
Oh, why don't they have phones on these things?


What can I do? I'm stuck thinking about you.


Did you know, my sweet
That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep?
I rolled over and over

Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets (X2)
