Something Else

I'm gonna get me a ride and rent a room on the coast
 I'm gonna make it alright
 And when they tell you i'm gone you might know it or not
 But you'll fake a surprise
 (Surprise)
 I'm gonna be a Verlaine, i'm gonna break with my plans
 I'm gonna trip for a while
 And maybe from time to time i'll send you a couple of lines
 About the places i've found
 How my eyes need a rest now
 How these trees bring shade
 We were birds, we were lovers
 Now we're something else
 Remember just how it feels to put your hands on the wheel
 And play a trick on your karma
 Sometimes you've got to avoid what you cannot avoid
 When you stick to the drama
 Remember just how it feels to take a thought like it is
 And turn it back upside down
 So when you need it again you will be forced to understand
 You had it all in your mind
 How my eyes need a rest now
 How these trees bring shade
 We were birds, we were lovers
 Now we're something else
 (Para-para-pa, pa-para-para)
 You need the love, I got the love
 I got the love for your mama
 You need the rain, well, I got the rain
 I'll be the rain on the summer
 You need the time, I got the time
 I'm gonna love you forever
 So if you need me, hop into your running shoes
 I'm gonna pick you up, I'm gonna dance your blues
 How my eyes need a rest now
 How these trees bring shade
 We were birds, we were lovers
 Now we're something else
 How my eyes need a rest now
 How these trees bring shade
 We were birds and we were lovers
 Now we're something else
