Listen

i wanted to be with you alone
and talk about the weather
but traditions i can trace against the child in your face
won’t escape my attention
you keep your distance with a system of touch
and gentle persuasion
i’m lost in admiration could i need you this much
oh you’re wasting my time
you’re just just just wasting time 

something happens and i’m head over heels
i never find out til i’m head over heels
something happens and i’m head over heels
ah don’t take my heart don’t break heart
don’t don’t don’t throw it away 
throw it away
throw it away

i made a fire and watching it burn
i thought of your future
with one foot in the past not just how long will it last
no no no have you no ambition
my mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
and dreaming i’m a doctor
it’s hard to be a man when there’s a gun in your hand
oh i feel so…

something happens and i’m head over heels
i never find out til i’m head over heels
something happens and i’m head over heels
ah don’t take my heart don’t break my heart
don’t don’t don’t throw it away
throw it away
throw it away 

and this is my four leaf clover
i’m on the line one opened mind
this is my four leaf clover… 

in my mind’s eye
one little boy one little man
funny how time flies…
