Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was makin' my way through the wasteland
The road into town passes through
I was changing the radio stations
With my mind on you
[Verse 2]
Oh, your friends call you Lily Paloma
But that's not the way that you are
It's too much of a gentle misnomer
For a shooting star
[Verse 3]
But you and me, baby
I saw you there, straight away I knew
There's really no hiding
I tell you right now what we're gonna do
[Verse 4]
We'll go collecting the days
Putting the moments away
You're on my mind like a song on the radio
You're on my mind like a song on the radio
[Verse 5]
I remember the first time I saw you
Alone in the dark with a drink
With a candle flame burning before you
And your thoughts closed in
[Verse 6]
You were staring out into the distance
Not seeming to hear what I said
Why did you put up such resistance?
Like all the lights were red
[Verse 7]
'Cause you and me, baby
I saw you there, straight away I knew
There's really no hiding
I tell you right now what we're gonna do
[Verse 8]
We'll go collecting the days
Putting the moments away
You're on my mind like a song on the radio
You're on my mind like a song on the radio
[Verse 9]
I don't know what it was that was painful
But sometimes it's there in your face
There are times when you just look disdainful
Of the human race
[Verse 10]
Ah, but then on the wings of emotion
We circle each other in flight
Till together we roll like the ocean
In its bed at night
[Verse 11]
'Cause you and me, baby
I saw you there, straight away I knew
There's really no hiding
I tell you right now what we're gonna do
[Verse 12]
We'll go collecting the days
Putting the moments away
You're on my mind like a song on the radio
You're on my mind like a song on the radio
[Verse 13]
Oh, whoa, song on the radio
Oh, whoa, song on the radio
