In My Ears

Sittin' here with my hands in my pockets
 Starin' down at my shoe strings
 I've been thinkin' 'bout love and rockets
 And the happiness that the sunshine brings
 Have been talkin' mostly to strangers
 They don't ask the same old thing
 "Where ya been? Where ya goin'?"
 It all starts to ring
 In my ears, man
 Open up a window, gonna shout it out
 I'm a terrible pretender
 I can't sit here and act like I give a damn
 In my ears, man
 Wastin' time, might as well roll it on down the line
 Take care, mister, it'll work out fine in the end
 At night when you're lyin' in bed
 You're thinkin' 'bout a melody
 Words are floatin' through your head
 I hope somehow you think of me
 And I know that you probably will
 I saw it once behind your eyes
 My words have been on your lips before you even realize
 I'm in your ears, man
 Open up a window, gonna shout it out
 I'm a terrible pretender
 I can't sit here and act like I give a damn
 In my ears, man
 Wastin' time, might as well roll it on down the line
 Take care, sister, it'll work out fine in the end
 Two, three, four
 Sittin' here with my hands in my pockets
 Starin' down at my shoe strings
