Something About a Girl

She likes the way her toes feel in the sand
She smiles a lot and doesn't seem to mind
When life doesn't turn out quite the way she planned
"He's such a nice guy," she always says
But she gets scared
She plays it safe
And in the end runs home with someone else
But nothing given nothing lost, she figures
Is the safest way to part
She's got a big black book
That might take her for granted
But she knows it all by heart
The right place in the wrong light
She's just lookin' for a good time
But you can't get her off your mind
You think about her all the time
You think about her all the time
Well, let's just say that there is something about a girl
Something about the way she makes me see my world
In all the colors that she feels
Let's just say that there is something about a girl
Something that keeps me stuck on her
Even when her rain drips through my roof
And I'll always see her like she's an autumn afternoon
He likes the way the sunset fades to midnight blue
The feel of the air on a summer night
When you watch a storm blow through
But something's always missing
From every shadow that he pursues
He tries not to want her
But for that there is no cure
3am To The Sun drive
No rest stop for miles
The light from the radio illuminates his fading eyes
He sees her face in the dim light
Drawn like a bug to the blue light
But you can't get her off your mind
You think about her all the time
You think about her all the time
Well, let's just say that there is something about a girl
Something about the way she makes me see my world
In all the colors that she feels
Well, let's just say that there is something about a girl
Something that keeps me stuck on her
Even when her rain drips through my roof
And I'll always see her like she's an autumn afternoon
Yeah
Tires still spinning by the side of the road
As help pulls into sight
He is shaken but he's alright
They ask him what he's doing here
Driving this stretch of road at this shade of night
And he replies
Let's just say that it was something about a girl
Something about the way she makes me see my world
In all the colors that she feels
Let's just say that it was something about a girl
Something that keeps me stuck on her
Even when her rain drips through my roof
And I'll always see her like she's an autumn afternoon
Like she's an autumn afternoon
Yeah
There's just something about a girl
