Welcome to my life   The words on the spine, face down   Trying to keep my mind from worry   This is how I've learned to spend my time   A painting of my days   Lived with restraint   I draw pictures, send birthday presents   Yes, I sleep alone, which is fine   But soon, I'll need you   'Cause I can't last like this for long   Besides, we can't afford the calls   Soon it'll take two   I want to see you in the morning   Hug you while you're yawning   Don't want to think of the day   That every day becomes every other day   Fall back into sneaking   I can't help but thinking   You are how I ought to spend my time   The sky is turning blue   My eyes are too   They have to see you to be sure   That you are you and she is her   Soon I'll need to   Wrap my arms around you   Smile and say I'm glad I found you   Could it be you?   Will we decide to move?   Will our lives improve?   If we decided to try Philly   Or do ya think I'm talking silly?   If you do, then for Chrissakes tell me   If we decided to try Philly   All my friends out here would kill me   Can I convince them that you love me?   Welcome to my life   The words on the spine, face down
