Before We Even Met

The highway was an astronaut and I was picking fibers
Like I had no other questions for the man
So he took me to my front door like my suitcase never moved
And he said "now you know exactly where you stand"

Both my eyes were empty
Both my hands were wet
"Before you even knew me, did you hold my silhouette?"
"Doll, I knew you before we even met"

The sidewalk was a parking lot that I don't care to miss
Like the promise of a distant, open space
So when the grass grew tall and I was still a pirate of the dirt
Darling you stayed true, my saving grace

Both my eyes were empty
Both my hands were wet
"Before you even knew me, did you hold my silhouette?"
"Doll, I knew you before we even met"

The office parks and movie screens, they all just sing your name
It's the song I always wished that I could write
Once a sleepless electrician, now I'm happy just to listen
It's the only thing that gets me through the night

Both my eyes were empty
Both my hands were wet
"Before you even knew me, did you hold my silhouette?"
"Doll, I knew you before we even met"
"Doll, I knew you before we even met"
