time tables

once she came like a vision in the night

i fell in love before the morning arrived

she wore a blue dress to combat the heat

drank beer from a bottle and danced in the street

then i heard her singing something fairly familiar

a tale of two lovers in the thick of the summer

there in the moment we kissed in a hammock

we argued over which bad religion album was better

well

i thought 'no control' or 'suffer'. and then she became queen of the neighbourhood parties

'cause i was an unknown boy along for the ride

kept the guitar right by my side

was better than conversing with the kids i didn't like

but on the fourth of july

the fireworks rang out

she met a new boy

who was more hip and less strung out

i drove home with fire in the sky

fiddled with the dials and stumbled across something

that you were always humming. as time tables suggest

we were only just friends

in constant motions covering stilts

i'll give you a dollar for another ride home

or something to mix with your coke. well maybe if you want to wander 'round outside tonight

meet me in lake ariel after midnight

or really whenever

i only want to talk

i only want to relive what was lost. as time tables suggest

we were only just friends

in constant motions covering stilts

i'll give you a dollar for another ride home

or something to mix with. as time tables suggest
