Well I once knew a girl Who hid her problems deep inside herself Like little Russian dolls And when I go to work she pulled them out Gave them names and sewed them little clothes When I throw little pebbles At her window from the alley below When I get home She tucked them all away Pretend that everything was okay, okay, okay, ohhh Oh because I I can't say her loss 'Cause she can't lose Can't lose what she don't want Oh I wish oh wish I had someone here to blame, blame, blame Oh I wish oh wish That she wanted me the same The same as I want her The same as I want her Oh I just wish she wanted me the way I want her Well I learned early on In an old western cowboy song You can't choose your love But you damn right know that you can take a chance If your a gambling man So we either put your lonely heart to rest Chase the moon and shoot down the stars Because it is true that nothing good will stay That everything will be ok, ok, ok, ohhhh Because I I can't say it's her loss Because she can't lose Can't lose what she don't want Oh I wish I wish, I had someone here to blame, blame, blame Oh I wish I wish, that she wanted me the same The same as I want her The same as I love her She taught me once In a two week chase It is not about your final resting You're rushing to this giant race It is more about the trip you have take Well things to see The friends to make The love to share Their hearts to break The roads to pave Old castles to shake Life is what happens while you are marking all dates
