Not That Cool

(album: Blackbird On A Lonely Wire - 2003)

Excuse me
Do you have the time
'Cause I've been here waiting since a quarter after nine
And it is not true love that I'm hoping I will find
No the truth is that I just don't want to be alone tonight

My how your eyes sparkle
Have you heard that one before
'Cause if you have don't you worry I know at least one million more
Like the one about your father stealing stars out of the sky
And if I could buy you just one more drink I think I'd have the strength to tell these lies

And it must feel so fine
To get what you want every time
I would if I were more like James Dean

Then I could walk right up to you
And say hello how do you do
Then you'd come back home with me
But I'm just not that cool you see
I'm just not that cool you see

So for now I'll just sit here and wait alone
And hope that maybe you'll say hello
As the night just creeps along
And I don't want to know about the clothes you wear
I want to see you in the morning with the sunlight through your hair
