Remembering my old apartment in downtown Little Rock
Knowing it may never be as fine as it is on Friday night
I cried and said outloud,
"Why do I have to be crazy?"
I thought my bathing suit from Paris might make me feel better
So I put it on and sunbathed on the front porch
I thought about you and how you told me “awe loves you”
I smiled and said outloud,
"I love you too."
I let myself be my kind of crazy unrelentlingly
Adam Duritz kept me company
Convincing me I was most certainly a queen
I pretended you could hear my thoughts,
"Are you the rain king?"
And out of the clear blue sky it started to rain
Suddenly I didn't feel crazy
Except for you
And you said,
"Slow it down. Take it easy baby."
Because I didn't know what that meant I slept for twelve hours
And read all of our words over and over
Wishing I could edit the past
Because if I could I would have left it at,
"Awe loves you too."
"I love you too."
I let myself be my kind of crazy unrelentlingly
Adam Duritz kept me company
Convincing me I was most certainly a queen
I pretended you could hear my thoughts,
"Are you the rain king?"
And out of the clear blue sky it started to rain
Suddenly I didn't feel crazy
Except for you
And you said,
"Slow it down. Take it easy baby."
Because I didn't know what that meant I slept for twelve hours
And read all of our words over and over
Wishing I could edit the past
Because if I could I would have left it at,
"Awe loves you too."
