Saturday love

I know that I can't tell you this light has slowly faded.

Like mail that's never dated from towns still burned and raided.

And lost without a soul, with you forever more.

I'm sorry but I can't tell you I feel like a pattern

Of shapes that will never matter, a color that will never flatter.

It's all gonna' come around. It's all gonna' make your eyes burn.

I really wanna' tell you that love is like a furnace,

It burns in and out of purpose, so hot that it makes me nervous.

So large that it won't cool out. So big that it can't burn out.


I wait sixteen, a Saturday, love.

My heart beats fast and faraway, love.

Your eyes so pure, they never grow up.

You stay with me, we'll never grow up, my love.


I know that I can't tell you my mind is running circles.

My eyes have begun to swirl, like death, but it's not as sterile.

I ain't gonna' let you down. I ain't gonna' let you leave me.

I'm sorry but I can't tell you about life, but it makes me crazy,

So I just like to daydream, 'cause dreams only make me happy.

Will you come along my love? Will you come along here with me?


I wait, sixteen, a Saturday, love.

My heart beats fast and faraway, love.

Your eyes so pure, they never grow up.

You stay with me, we'll never grow up, my love.
