Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From a windowsill
You wait there just until the rain
Stops pouring down
[Verse 2]
The grand optimists
Telling you these are tricks
Playing in your mind
And soon you'll leave them all behind
[Verse 3]
So they say, "It's a shame"
Things they come and go away
And I've been trying to change
But I always make mistakes
Yeah, I always fly away
[Verse 4]
In my dreams at night
I keep thinking I might be
Living in another time
[Verse 5]
High beam headlights on
Down the highway where we used to live
Long ago
Now I see you there
Looking like a ghost
[Verse 6]
So they say, "It's a shame"
Things they come and go away
And I've been trying to change
But I always make mistakes
Yeah, I always fly away
