Sapphire Girl Lyrics

Overpass lamps cast yellow light
across your pale soft face,
waitin for a seat in a restaurant
here, where the whole town intersects before it recedes.

Flip through songs on your ipod
find one I like,
lay my head back on the car seat
then I try to make some smart remark to rival yours.

keep the heater running, sapphire girl.
it's still winter outside.
You can't go making promises like
the ones that shine from your eyes.
It frusterates me sometimes,
when you turn from the girl of my dreams,
to that girl that's so uptight.

I watch the lines bend and shine,
as they comprise you,
hangin around in my bedroom,
here, where things will never quite click between us.

Tip Toe around your temperments,
find somewhere to hide,
look hard til I find the real you,
then I turn off my mind, and sleep content inside your eyes.

Keep the heater running, sapphire girl.
it's still winter outside.
You can't keep promises like
the ones that shine from your eyes.
It frusterate me sometimes,
when you turn from the girl of my dreams,
to that girl that's so uptight.
