Graveblankets - The Half I Saw lyrics

I first saw her face on a silver screen It was a matinee, a european I kept returning for at least ten more shows Then i followed that film 'round until it closed Someone else should've been thinking for me They would've said an actress only gives you half the story The half i saw was more than enough The half i saw was almost too much I joined her fan club boy did i ever feel young I couldn't stop myself i was so badly stung I found out where she lived i quit my job to find This flicker in the dark i couldn't leave behind Someone else should've been thinking for me They would've said an actress only gives you half the story I went to santa barbara and tried to find that girl But no one can ever tell you it's impossible... I hitchhiked home and i got my old job back I had to take their sh** i had to watch them laugh Now i spend my nights in front of my t.v. I finally figured out just what she means to me No one else has to do my thinking for me I want my actress to just only tell me half the story The half i saw was more than enough The half i saw was almost too much
