You found a little house just off the avenue And if I had the mind, I'd probably find one too If I had the money, I would follow suit I'd move across the town and make up a good excuse I wouldn't be here pacing, I'd be chasing after you And walking to the park cause I know you're there The sky is getting dark when you suddenly appear You say that you've been trying for weeks to make a move And I can't help but smile that you never knew It's just a nice surprise, cause I've been chasing after you And now I'm at home, all alone, thinking
I'm thinking a lot, about the telephone ringing, ringing Now if we got together, we could do a lot of good And not just for ourselves, but for the neighborhood Think of all the lightbulbs that we could share Think of how the forests would know that we care Globally our footprint would be drastically reduced If locally we decreased the proximity between me and you In short, I won't be pacing, won't be chasing after you I won't be chasing after you I won't be chasing after you
