A song about mixed signals when romancing someone.
lyrics
She's so mean
I only asked if I could stay the night
I didn't imply that I would hold her in my arms
Until I saw the lights behind her eyes
Fall apart
I have bandaged up her heart
And all her secrets are safe with me
But with every word she said
She tightened the noose around my neck
Hoping I'd dream of her face tonight
When I know she's out to get me
But I can't see in the dark
She turned all the lights on when everyone left home
Somedays I wish we'd just talk
And she said
I don't think I am up to this I just cannot afford to kiss you
But if all that you knew was that I love you would you stay a while
And I said
Just take my hand
I promise you everything
Will be okay
And we'll forget everything
We went through
To get where we are right now
And you can fix my heart too
When I know she's out to get me
But I can't see in the dark
She turned all the lights on when everyone left home
Somedays I wish we'd just talk
Oh her lights are guiding me the wrong way home
Oh her lights, I know that I'll always follow
Cause she puts her all into me
And her eyes are the best things I've seen
Oh her lights are guiding me the wrong way home
Oh her lights, I know that I'll always follow
Cause she puts her all into me
And her eyes are the best things I've seen
She's so mean
I only asked if I could stay the night
I didn't imply that I would hold her in my arms
Until I saw the lights behind her eyes
