Enlighten Me

verse 1 In my mind I write you letters all the time Somehow I never get the pen to paper And in my life my words always rhyme And it's a shame I don't hate her or blame her verse 2 Look at that I'm 29 And not much has changed since the last time we danced And I'm good, I'm good I swear to god I'm fine I'm just scared to death to take a chance I think you're crazier than me I think you're crazy as can be And it frightens me so enlighten me verse 3 I got your note about the day the girl fell -- A five story window I don't know too well And I never wrote you back (can't you tell?) That in my mind the image just climbs verse 4 I spent too long with the wrong kinds of men One went to Iraq, came back, but fled again And I think of them - I do, now and then It only reminds me, that's all behind me I think you're crazier than me I think you're crazy as can be And it frightens me so enlighten me Verse 5 The things in this life we're striving to get Are the same as those finding us fools of regret I remember clearly the day we met 'Cause your voice was crystal and your hair was so gold Verse 6 The need for new love — it's loyalty to an old Though I don't believe it's what I'm being told Remember on the platform we stood in the cold? I wonder how we'll stand it, one day when we're old . . . Will you still be crazy about me? Will you still be crazy as can be? 'Cause it frightens me enlighten me Verse 7 Now who'd ever guess one day we'd cross feet The corner where Houston and Essex Street meet And who'd ever guess you'd envision our kid In the back of a car drivin' over a bridge Verse 8 I don't know how much more I'll take of all this Do we come apart or do we join at the hip? Or do we both flip a coin; heads or tails — tell me quick — Heads means let's say tails says walk away! I think you're crazy, I think you're crazier than me I think you're crazy as can be And it frightens me enlighten me Verse 9 Time passes on and we pick up the pen Though we barely write a word before we put it down again I'm asking myself ain't the sole intention To be riddled with love without any question? verse 10 It's time we give the lunatic business arrest You're borderline romantic at worst I guess I made a mistake, I got it all wrong It's me who's insane but for the sake of my song I made you crazier than me I may be crazy as can be And it frightens me so enlighten me Outro I write you letters all the time in my mind I write you letters all the time in my mind I write you letters all the time in my mind I write you letters . . .
