Number One
I looked up and all I could see was mist,
Who needs course when you're perfectly a drift,
I've got a friend who knows just how it is,
We walked awhile and watched the sun arrive,
Drinking and planning, hey you know where time,
You wanna sing I'm here just like tonight,
Golden storm, put that hurricane away,
I wasn't flattered when you named it after me,
I wanna lay down almost constantly, cause I know,
[pre chorus]
Just how to look the other way,
It was so much easier yesterday.
[chorus]
When the door was open and,
We're just running forward,
Come on let's close it,
And I'll call you number one,
Number one,
Number one,
Number one.
You read in books about how it all should work,
Written by men who've never seen the world,
Or a garden coming to colour and that,
Northwest town where the streets are overrun,
Punk Rock kids do what they've always done,
Time can stop, I was the lucky one,
Blue blood runs out into the street,
T.V shows rewarding treachery,
I'm watching now and I will be the same time next week,
[pre chorus]
Just learn how to look away,
I wanna understand yesterday,
[chorus]
When the door was open and,
We're just running forward,
Come on let's close it,
And I'll call you number one,
Number one,
Number one,
Number one.
[bridge]
Don't let him run a race,
Come out of your hiding place.
Ooooh
I look into your eyes but don't know how they work,
Desire is power and trust is just a word,
Remember when we met, I was young and you were hurt,
Maybe we should talk about what's at stake,
You don't have to feel like shit and say it's O.K,
Or pretend to be asleep while you're dreaming of being awake.
