Thinking About You

I was thinking about you
I was beginning to doubt you
And as I wandered without you
She blew a kiss my way
Doesn’t matter to me, now
I wiped the dust from my knees
Now I’ll be on my way

But in the mean time
Get me outta here
No I can’t stop thinkin’
Get me outta here
’cause my ship’s sinkin;
sinkin’ without me

point your finger at me, dear
and tell me what do you see here
the man I’m tryin’ to be is not the one you’ve loved
you wanted more than the roses
you wanted gestures and poses
you wanted feverish fondness and to call it true love

and now its over
Get me outta here
No I can’t stop thinkin’
Get me outta here
’cause my ship’s sinkin;
sinkin’ without me

so why this aimless reverie
I’m just on break from breakin’ free
Of words I never meant to say
And all the games that we’d play

We wind around one another
Don’t get too close, I feel smothered
You think in terms of forever
A trait I’ve never shared
I never meant to upset you
I hope I never forget you
I hope you never forget how my hands ran through your hair

But in the meantime
Get me outta here
No I can’t stop thinkin’
Get me outta here
’cause my ship’s sinkin;
sinkin’ without me
