Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rode here on the bus
Now you're one of us
It was magic hour
Counting motorbikes on the turnpike
One of Eisenhower's
[PreChorus]
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who starts a fire just to let it go out?
[Chorus]
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
[Verse 2]
On the red guitar
Said you wrote a while
In the waking hour
In fluorescent light
Antisocialites watch a wilting flower
[PreChorus]
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?
[Chorus]
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
[Chorus]
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
[Bridge]
Don't sit by the phone for me
Wait at home for me, all alone for me
Your face was supposed to be
Hanging over me like a rosary
So morose for me, seeing ghosts of me
Writing oaths to me, is it so naïve to wonder
[Chorus]
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
[Chorus]
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
