Middle Brother Daydreaming
Early in the morning too hungover to go back to sleep.
Every sound is amplified, every light so dizzying.
Listen for a while to the neighbors having sex
Wishing I could lay my aching head upon your breast.
Can't I dream another dream?
Can't I close my eyes and wander back to sleep?
But I'm daydreaming about you.
I know that it's wrong.
That I'm daydreaming about you
Cuz I've been daydreaming for so long.
A Bloody Mary afternoon, waste my time out in the sun.
Hum myself some melodies, maybe I can sing you one.
Maybe I could find you sitting down at the cafe.
Maybe I could join you at your table today.
Can't I just get what I want?
Can't I be the man that steals away your heart?
But I'm daydreaming about you.
I know that it's wrong.
That I'm daydreaming about you.
I've been daydreaming for so long.
Yeah, I've been daydreaming for so long.
Later in the evening take the bus down and see the show.
He'll be behind the bar. I'll get a beer, leave a tip and lay low.
I'm just a kid that gets his drinks from you
And stands around and doesn't have a clue.
Can't I hold you close to me?
Can't I ever say to you just what I mean?
But I'm daydreaming about you.
I know that it's wrong
That I'm daydreaming about you.
Cuz I've been daydreaming for so long.
Oh yeah, I've been daydreaming for so long.
