Lyrics
0:09I might go to the mountain to spy
0:14And I see all the pretty snow
0:19And I dream that dream I dream no matter where I go
0:29We were still young like when we met
0:34And I hadn't f**ked it all up yet
0:39And you wanted me to be with you like before
0:46What I like about time is it don't ask why
0:51What I like about love is it makes me cry
0:56What I like about the bird is she don't need nothing but sky
1:06And I know you tried to tell me then
1:10No one could bear the sh*t I put on them
1:15And I guess you wonder why you even let me in
1:20Well so do I
1:30And in my dream I never make you pay
1:34For all the things you did and did not say
1:39I was ready to be good to you
1:44And make you stay
1:49And you took me to the carnival town
1:54And we rode the rides up and down
1:59And we watched the birds watch us smile
2:04And then they flew away
2:06What I like about time is it don't ask why
2:11What I like about love is it makes me cry
2:16What I like about the bird is she don't need nothing but sky
2:26And I know you think my life's a crime
2:30And you talk about it to your wife sometimes
2:35You all shake your heads and sigh
2:38Oh believe me I shake mine
I might go to the mountain to spy And I see all the pretty snow And I dream that dream I dream no matter where I go We were still young like when we met And I hadn't f**ked it all up yet And you wanted me to be with you like before What I like about time is it don't ask why What I like about love is it makes me cry What I like about the bird is she don't need nothing but sky And I know you tried to tell me then No one could bear the sh*t I put on them And I guess you wonder why you even let me in Well so do I And in my dream I never make you pay For all the things you did and did not say I was ready to be good to you And make you stay And you took me to the carnival town And we rode the rides up and down And we watched the birds watch us smile And then they flew away What I like about time is it don't ask why What I like about love is it makes me cry What I like about the bird is she don't need nothing but sky And I know you think my life's a crime And you talk about it to your wife sometimes You all shake your heads and sigh Oh believe me I shake mine
