Canadian Folk Song
I thought I knew
When I saw her I thought I knew
But these things come in twos and I saw you
Standing there in a halo of your light
And it gave me a fright
I pictured me
In the bathroom where the other kids meet
We smoke in the stalls
And laugh our heads off in the halls
Or hanging out at the mall
We live the same
Every single day
I'll cut my hair
You'll cut yourself
Oh we all wish we were anywhere else
Well I heard that
Canada's got plenty of songs
Canada has no perfect lawns
Canada has mountain scapes
Where I can escape
"Why don't you trust me?" you said
"Life can be easy"
Walking the edge of this fence
I'll break my rules
I'll be your best friend
Cuz you promised
Canada's got plenty of songs
Canada has no perfect lawns
Canada has mountain scapes
Where I can escape
I've been saving up
I've been working hard
If you don't fill my cup
I will just drive my car
And I will never stop
I will never stop
I will never
I drove to Canada
Found a different view
But I found too
The same books
The same music
The same you
Now I know
In my hands there are plenty of songs
In my mind there are no perfect lawns
In my dreams there are mountains to climb on
To climb on
To climb on
Ooo ooo ooo
When I saw her I thought I knew
But these things come in twos and I saw you
Standing there in a halo of your light
And it gave me a fright
I pictured me
In the bathroom where the other kids meet
We smoke in the stalls
And laugh our heads off in the halls
Or hanging out at the mall
We live the same
Every single day
I'll cut my hair
You'll cut yourself
Oh we all wish we were anywhere else
Well I heard that
Canada's got plenty of songs
Canada has no perfect lawns
Canada has mountain scapes
Where I can escape
"Why don't you trust me?" you said
"Life can be easy"
Walking the edge of this fence
I'll break my rules
I'll be your best friend
Cuz you promised
Canada's got plenty of songs
Canada has no perfect lawns
Canada has mountain scapes
Where I can escape
I've been saving up
I've been working hard
If you don't fill my cup
I will just drive my car
And I will never stop
I will never stop
I will never
I drove to Canada
Found a different view
But I found too
The same books
The same music
The same you
Now I know
In my hands there are plenty of songs
In my mind there are no perfect lawns
In my dreams there are mountains to climb on
To climb on
To climb on
Ooo ooo ooo
