You nearly figured me out
You nearly ruined the circle
The one i put up around me
Like I had sprinkled some salt
You nearly knew me too well
And if I’d let you under the surface
Who do you think would be more nervous?
It comes and goes in wa-a-a-aves
Comes and goes in waves
It comes and goes in wa-a-a-aves
Comes and goes in waves
You nearly knew all my secrets
Even though you never knew me
To think I almost let you in
Swear it’s like learning what a fool is
How could you do it to me
My peace is tellin’ me to disengage
The Bible mentioning forgiveness
Here’s me just turning to another page
It comes and goes in wa-a-a-aves
Comes and goes in waves
It comes and goes in wa-a-a-aves
Comes and goes in waves
We nearly toppled the lighthouse
You nearly figured me out
Thank God I’m keeping this lookout
Thank God I’m shutting that down
I saw you naked on the granite clifftop
And in the lightning on Mont Salève
I’m always waitin' on a phantom shoe-drop
When it just comes and goes in waves
It comes and goes in wa-a-a-aves
Comes and goes in waves
It comes and goes in wa-a-a-aves
Comes and goes in waves
It comes and goes in wa-a-a-aves
Comes and goes in waves
It comes and goes in wa-a-a-aves
Comes and goes in waves
There’s a mark in my dresser
From when I wasn’t quite at my best
Think I’m gonna repaint it,
Think I’m gonna repaint
Stripped the varnish, oh yes
Oh yes, ahh
Narrowed it down to two colors
Do you wanna help me pick?
Baby if you wanna, ah
Really get into it,
You could come and help me do some
Home improvement
After that, we’ll address, ahh
Anything you need to get done love
Anything you want, you got, my love
Throw out that old tattered couch
Find you a new one
Oh, and even though I’m not an expert
When it comes to such things,
I always recommend a little renovation
Just to keep the energy flowin’
But baby, if you wanna, ah
Really get into it,
Come to me with your house in order:
Home improvement
Anything you want love, we can do it
But only if we both put our back into it
Anything you need to get done, love
Anything you want, you got, my love
You walk with feet in joint
They point your way to that same essential point
Yeah and you got the cute shoes
The ones with pretty flowers on ‘em
You
Got me wanting to walk with you
I know you’ve got no time to waste
And suffer fools
(You)
I could never be like you
(You, you)
Cool Girl
I could never be like you
(You, you)
Cool Girl
I try my best to lead
When I can with the most lovely parts of me
But the way you walk’s incredible
Like your heart is invulnerable
Like fairy wings are tucked into your sleeves
I could never be like you
Cool Girl
I could never be like you
Cool Girl
Lemme drink your pride in
I wanna smell the flowers growing in your garden
I forget myself when we cross paths, girl
I’m so desperate just to walk with you
Even when I try to be a cool girl
I know I could never be like you
(I could never be like you)
Cool Girl
(I could never be like you, I could never be like you)
Cool Girl, ah
(I could never be like you)
Cool Girl
(I could never be like you, I could never be like you)
Cool Girl, ah, ah
