lyrics

Meanwhile, I'm thinking and I'm dreaming so dearly of you
Scheming of a way that I can get across the ocean blue
A barrel of laughs and a vale of tears
Oh my loving arms wait so desperately to wrap around you, dear

Yeah we could sit on the porch
drinking a beer
talking some shit
sitting so near

Cause I have so many things to do
But my favorite thing is dreaming of you

So long to all the disciplining and the sadness you bear
Yeah in a few short weeks you'll be able to attend to your own cares
But meanwhile, I'll think of you while I swim at the river downtown
When I open my eyes underwater I'll wish you were around

And if you let me be your love
well, I won't tie you down
You know i hate routines
the last thing I want to do with you is
make dinner and watch movies

And if you let me tie you up
Yup, I won't tie you down
I don't want to you to be like me
or me like you
I just wanna be your
most intimate friend
