It's been a while. I'm still here.

How did I fall in love?

Some one asked me the other day. Was it Dorthy? My March hare? It certainly wasn't that caterpillar. The Cheshire cat? I can't remember.

But I do remember falling.

For that pretty girl.

Too much to say and too small a world.

Hair dirty blond, or light brown with highlights?
A two hour train ride, it's almost midnight.
Do you respect who you're attracted to?
I always feel safer with my back to you.
Two cigarette packs, why can't you relax?
I'm just stating facts, there's no going back.

Cos see I've got a policy, never
give up on a girl till she gives up on

me.

This one's so stubborn I think I'll be here,
waiting it out for the rest of my years.
But here's the big secret, I don't think I told you,
I don't mind at all, cos I'm just getting older
and that's life's big punch line,
we only start dying when everything's fine.

Miracles aren't such a big deal,
I just don't see the mighty appeal.
She's too good for him and her patience's worn thin,
so a kick in the shin, I totally win,
she told me.
And now I see.

It's not her eyes or devilish demeanor,
Because then, my heartbreak might have been cleaner.
The reason I love her I'll never forget,
because she's the first real girl that I've met.
