lyrics
She’s naked, sleeping in my bed
And I’m wondering, is there anywhere
That she’d rather be
I hate it when she’s not around
She’s just too easy to lose
And oh so hard to keep
Just too easy to lose
And oh so hard to keep
It’s another day that you just don’t want to end
She wakes up and whispers
“Come on, let’s do it again”
Let’s leave the world out there waiting
Let’s leave the world out there waiting
And I say yes
No politics no lies no tricks
No paper house to crumble in the rain
She knows all my vices
There were no surprises in the end
It’s just another day in paradise
It would be nice it would be nice
If she could stay
Oh I know I’m alive yes I know I’m alive when she says
Let’s leave the world out there waiting
Let’s leave the world out there waiting
And I say yes
She’s naked still sleeping in my bed
My hands are wandering and I’m wondering
What goes on in her head
She says I’m crazy, this is crazy
Then she says oh then she says
Let’s leave the world out there waiting
Let’s leave the world out there waiting
And I say yes
I believe, I believe,
She says she doesn’t disagree
And I say yes
