Strange Girl

(album: All At Once - 2011)

It was an old song from,
"Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me" that she sang
It was an old line
I kept it with me, with me, with me when she rang

You're such a strange girl
You're such a strange, strange girl
You're such a strange girl

It's all been erased
Everyone is telling me
It's slightly deranged
Everyone is telling me

We traded blindness for wisdom
And some lines around our eyes
But you just act like it was a fact of life
It didn't come as a surprise

You're such a strange girl
You're such a strange, strange girl
You're such a strange girl

And no you can't ever go home
Everything has changed and people are gone
Some close your eyes
You try to summon a song
And you feel your life falling under you like a slide,
Like a slide

It was an old song
I once knew every note and every line
It was a long night
When I carried you and you carried me for a time

You're such a strange girl
You're such a strange, strange girl
You're such a strange girl

It's all been erased,
Everyone is telling me
It's slightly deranged,
Everyone is telling me

I dreamt of your face
And what the song was telling me
Time has made it all obscene
And trapped us in our dreams
