Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm looking for something
I can't say exactly what
I will know it when I find it
And it may be all I got
[Chorus]
Oh, I know that there was peace
I know that there was fun
I take my private dreams
And I lie them in the sun
[Verse 2]
Oh, the spirit of the staircase
What you wish you'd thought to say
We don't speak like in the movies
But we wish we did all day
[Chorus]
When you want me on your mind
This isn't what you meant
We had some perfect days
And I wonder where they went
I know that there were things
That fell apart with age
We reasoned with these feelings
And they turned into a cage
[Bridge]
I'm done, give me the sun, no dysfunction
I'm done, give me the sun, no dysfunction
[Outro]
I know that there was peace
I know that there was fun
I take my private dreams
And I lie them in the sun
I know that there were things
That fell apart with age
We reasoned with these feelings
And they turned into a cage
