15 Will Get You 20 - City High

My dream girl, those eyes, that nose My private inside joke, sign the cast on my funny bone Floral sheets on long-given-up ghosts Haunt my bedroom at night and say "Let's get you home" They say "Grow up, be a man, 'cause until then You're nothing but a short-haired girl" But come and Braille-palm-read and hold my hand See my reason and "Goodbye cruel world" And oh my God, what's wrong with me? And the wife of Walter Keane, whose name right now's escaping me That's right, Margaret Dream girl, come, and sweep me off my knees I'd rather stay asleep than never see you wake up next to me Neon lights like heat lamps in the cold To incubate the shadows you can't stitch back to your soles And you seemed fine just a few days ago But CO2 and fish tanks do enough to get you home Well now you swear in your prayers telling time "Promise I'll never have fun again If you'd stop flying," but then you start crying "Never mind, you win" And far too late came far too soon And the love you never made became the things you'd never do Oh, sweet Mary Dream girl, come, but keep your hands off me Go on back to bed my love, I mean, That's where dreams are supposed to be So come on, William, grow up, be a man 'Cause until then they're gonna treat you Like you're just a little girl But come and Braille-palm-read, hold my hands and you'll see that It's me who cries mercy while your fingers curl And, oh, are you at all like me? Do you know what I mean? Or am I too close to see? Someone, anyone? Of the two things we do on our knees Watch me fold my hands just to crack my knuckles Well, here is the church, here is the steeple Open the doors, see all the people Alright, that's enough, let's get you home

I feel it in my blood, darlin', when you hold me I can feel the chemicals You took the man I was, burned away the broken parts And left the beautiful There ain't a feeling that I would trade For that little smirk when you say my name You get me high, high, high With just your smile, my love Oh, my love You get me high, high, high When you're by my side, my love Oh, my love You get me High, high, high High, high, high High, high, high Told Mommy you're the one, she asked when I knew And I said, "Oh, right from the jump" (ooh) You're the only love I want, 'cause all I ever crave Is you on days when we're apart (ooh) There ain't a feeling that I would trade For that little smirk when you say my name You get me high, high, high With just your smile, my love Oh, my love You get me high, high, high When you're by my side, my love Oh, my love You get me High, high, high High, high, high High, high, high You get me high, high, high Oh, with just your smile, my love Oh, my love You get me
