crazy eyes

i wasn't invited but i showed up anyway
someone had to put the fire out before the whole damn building burned to the ground
i thought i knew a little something about the character of you
but you blew my mind, you blew my faithful little mind

well hey now baby crazy eyes
they don't understand you 
and sometimes neither do i 
but i...
i've loved you for too long to let you suicide 
and i don't mind
that you walk too fast and you always take too much
i just hate it that whenever you look back all you can see is blue

a cloud of confusion  trails you like a cheap private i
and i'm waiting on the day you finally remember what you were ever doing here

it's all but forgotten to me now and by that i mean i haven't forgotten at all
but i'm trying

there's a waterfall in southeastern kentucky that i never told you about
close to corbin where the moonbow arcs in the clear light of a full moon 
but you probably already know all about that

well hey now baby crazy eyes
they don't understand you 
and sometimes neither do i
but i...
i've loved you for too long to let you suicide 
and i don't mind
that you walk too fast and you always take too much
i just hate it that whenever you look back all you can see is blue

i'm just waiting on the day you finally remember what you were ever doing here
