Elephants and Roses
I once was a boy with excuses
Now i'm just a man with nothing
Sure I got things but nothing real
Six strings and sex appeal
The real world just isn't meant for me
I'd rather sit back and sing quietly
I know that you thing that this will never work
Girl you should know
When the world comes down
I'll be waiting at the end for you
So hold me close
And we can pretend this never ends
I used to write sad songs about girls that don't exist
But this one's real
I used to watch her dance on my fingertips
And listen to the words from her lips
So i'll sing a sad song about elephants and roses
Peanut butter at the end of the day
Falling asleep to the sound of her sneezes
Watching you get ready everyday
When the world comes down
I'll be waiting at the end for you
So hold me close
And we can pretend this never ends
Won't you take my hand
And we can pretend this didn't end
Now i'm just a man with nothing
Sure I got things but nothing real
Six strings and sex appeal
The real world just isn't meant for me
I'd rather sit back and sing quietly
I know that you thing that this will never work
Girl you should know
When the world comes down
I'll be waiting at the end for you
So hold me close
And we can pretend this never ends
I used to write sad songs about girls that don't exist
But this one's real
I used to watch her dance on my fingertips
And listen to the words from her lips
So i'll sing a sad song about elephants and roses
Peanut butter at the end of the day
Falling asleep to the sound of her sneezes
Watching you get ready everyday
When the world comes down
I'll be waiting at the end for you
So hold me close
And we can pretend this never ends
Won't you take my hand
And we can pretend this didn't end
