I live in dreams, I live in sorrow
Can't see the light that I should follow
I look deranged, they call me strange
Whatever that is, well, I don't mind
In another time, another place
Yeah I was such a different kind
And then she said "Why don't you call her?"
She wrote a name, she wrote a number
I wanted to fell whatever they feel
I wanted to see the lightning strikes
Under the rain, up on the hill
Knocked on her door, looked in her eyes
She said
"I see you baby but I don't understand
Who wrote that number on the back of your hand
I wanna help you but I can't play along
'Cause all I wanna do to you is wrong, is wrong"
We stole a car and drove into the night
Her skin reflecting all those big neon lights
She kissed me gently and my body went numb
I woke up on the shore with a mouth full of sand
Her name, her face, I just can't remember
How many times have you heard "it's over"
And then you go and find another
Another who pleads, another who gives
Until it drives you out of your mind
You're tired to be the one that breaks
The one that hurts, that different kind
She said
"I see you baby but I don't understand
Who wrote that number on the back of your hand
I wanna help you but I can't play along
'Cause all I wanna do to you is wrong, is wrong"
We stole a car and drove into the night
Her skin reflecting all those big neon lights
She kissed me gently and my body went numb
I woke up on the shore with a mouth full of sand
The tide was rising and kept pulling me in
Now will I ever get to see her again?
Her name, her face, I just can't remember
