Enlighten Me
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 dont hate her or blame her
look at that im 29
and not much has changed since the last time we danced
and im good, im good i swear to god im fine
im just scared to death to take a chance
i think youre crazier than me
i think youre crazy as can be
and it frightens me so enlighten me
i got your note about the day the girl fell --
a five story window i dont know too well
and i never wrote you back (cant you tell?)
that in my mind the image just climbs
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 youre crazier than me
i think youre crazy as can be
and it frightens me, so enlighten me
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
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
now whod ever guess one day we'd cross feet
the corner where houston and essex street meet
and whod ever guess youd envision our kid
in the back of a car drivin over a bridge
i dont 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 youre crazy, i think youre crazier than me
i think youre crazy as can be
and it frightens me enlighten me
time passes on and we pick up the pen
tho we barely write a word before we put it down again
im asking myself aint the sole intention
to be riddled with love without any question?
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 whos insane but for the sake of my song
i made you crazier than me
i may be crazy as can be
and it frightens mes so enlighten me
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 iime in my mind
i write you letters . . .
