One the 1:30 back from Toronto, trying to sleep on a GO Bus Seat
Oh man, that girl was something like you don’t know
She’s gonna make a fool outta me
We had a lot of things in common
she had a real sweet way of talkin'
this don’t happen all that often
just one little problem
can’t tell if she wants me
there's so many options
Why you wanna go that way now?
I just gotta be without
oh how am I supposed to really get to know ya
If you never come around?
Just like the end of a movie
kiss and then fade on out
Oh, how am I supposed to really get to know you now?
I find that girls like you are hard to find
But I tell you it’s not that hard to tell
Oh, I’m holding on for someone to hold on to,
Oh Lord, you’ve got me repeating myself
Pick my jaw up off the floor
listenin’ to you talk bout your life of crime
I’ve met girls like you before
and I ain’t gonna lie
I know this feeling
it’s a real good sign
Why you wanna go that way now?
I just gotta be without
oh how am I supposed to
really get to know ya
when you never come around?
I know the boys from the city
act like they got it all figured out
oh how am I supposed to really get to know you now?

You were born in rough times
took to following dotted lines
not stupid,
just a child
playing games and running wild
He was cute but, lacked the touch
liked to talk and liked to rush
thought about it on the drive,
eyes following power lines.
Trying to remember that someone Like You deserves to be loved
in the early morning light.
Someone like you deserves to be loved
someone to make you feel alright
it’s broken but it just needs mending, because our hearts are just delicate little engines
so spit out your bloody tooth and pick yourself back up in the fight
In the backseat of the car
through the sunroof saw the stars
thought about how you could shine,
someplace dark yet civilized
You wake up and grab your shirt
kick your feet into the dirt
you don’t have to say goodbye,
find those feelings you don’t have to deny
Just please remember that
[Chorus]
Someone Like You deserves to be loved
in the early morning light.
Someone Like You deserves to be loved, someone that makes you feel alright
it’s broken but it just needs mending because our hearts are just delicate little engines
so spit out your bloody tooth and pick yourself back up in the fight

On the road for bout’ a week found myself in Saskatoon
Ran into you at the show you were lookin’ pretty cool
It happens so easily, one becomes one less than three
Let’s go hit a liquor store go to your house and watch TV
You said it was just down the road…
October never felt so cold, at least I got a hand to hold
—
Oh for sure I’ll take some wine, drink it out of coffee mugs
Doin’ our best to be quiet and not wake your roommate up
Now you’re pulling on my shirt, I felt something start to stir
Face looks like you’re ‘bout to say something but cannot find the words
And in that moment I was sure. In our corner so undisturbed, I only wanted to be hers
—
Such a brief hello, such a long goodbye
The skies they were grey, so I looked into your blue eyes
“Oh God, look at the time”
—
Thanks for giving me a lift, taking me back to my car
Today I drive to Winnipeg, is the distance all that far?
Out here in Ontario, I just want to let you know:
Throw a dart onto a map and that’s the place where we can go
Or maybe not dude, I don’t know…
Just glad I walked through all the snow and you were someone I could know

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
If all the things you say are true
You tell and show another world, another girl, another crowd that follows you
I’ll take up arms, and I’ll take notes on all your jokes so I can teach myself to laugh again
I’ll be the one, I’ll be the light I’ll be the sun shining down upon the rest of them
Something’s amiss…
There’s nothing here that you can’t fix at least that’s the thing that you say to me.
Oh how I try to take a bite, to jump and strike so I can knock down all my enemies
I see your fear, you’ll be the king of everything so you can fight war on the future
You break your fists against the walls and run down halls cause you’re not going to be a loser.
Just take some time, to rest your heart to rest your mind the rest of them will run in circles.
Just sit and breath and you’ll be restin’ peacefully and he’ll scream till his face is purple.
Believe it kid, you’ll make the grade you’ll save the day cause you’re not walking in formation
with all the sons, cleaning their boots shining their guns it’s all just fear and frustration
Fear and frustration!
