Funny Luck

I scribbled down my name and number and sent out a messenger balloon and wished aloud that it was found
Then three weeks later you called to see if I'd enjoy some British comedy and thrift store shopping
Since you've come into view there's no more looking around
I'm stuck in a dream but I can't sleep 'cause I'm still thinking about
The way you and I were up all night and lost our perception of time
And I can't believe this happened to me with luck as funny as mine
We met at the Goodwill and while we dressed in silly hipster clothes managed to forget that we were strangers
We dined at the noodle house; you spilled pad thai on your blouse, and then we slipped outside before the check arrived

It's okay, I don't even cry
All I think about is a memory
Of in that dream when you kiss my arm
As you turn away, don't hear a word I say
That maybe when I die I'll get to be a car
Driving in the night, lighting up the dark
There's something in your voice that sparks a little hope
I'll wait up for that noise as your voice becomes my home
One way road, don't care what I find
A little thunder's good, I thought maybe you would
But it's okay, we all feel left out
Sometimes growing up – it can get you down
I'll give you something that no one's gonna give you:
My sleeping skin and my heart deep down in you
I'll never tell you but you're my little scar
Goodbyes are hard and they're hard and they're hard

Yellow Brick Road

Go ahead and follow the yellow brick road to the end
Go ahead and dream, you're already asleep all the time
Just don't bring me into your fantasy
I wish I were lying but I'm not
You have no idea where you are
It's cute how you pretend you're everyone's best friend 'cause when you go
We laugh at your expense and I wish you'd take offense but you don't
No one cares to tell you the ugly truth
And I wish I were sorry but I'm not
Yeah I wish I had a heart
