There Was a Boy

There was a boy who wanted nothing from life
But to see his baby tonight
There was a girl who wanted nothing from him
But to never leave his side
And he got in his jeep but he fell asleep
And he waved goodbye to his plans
Now he's stuck in a ditch
And he's wondering which
Is gonna go first, his head or his hands
There was a boy who wanted nothing from life
But to see his baby tonight

There was a flower on the side of the road
It was glistening in the sun
Heavens above, you know when you make love
You make the sky just come undone
And a kiss for freedom is the stupidest reason
Cuz you know what freedom can do
Don't whistle at me and don't cheer me on
Cuz it's not always about you
There was a flower on the side of the road
It was glistening in the sun

There was a dagger in my hands for a week
But you healed me just in time
Something about your rosy glow
Made me almost lose my mind
These things don't last
And I'm trying to guess
How it's all gonna fade to dust
But for a while I will treat you with smiles
I'll pretend it doesn't hurt when it does
There was a dagger in my hands for a week
But you healed me just in time
You healed me just in time
You healed me just in
