Lyrics:
If I came to your house, would you let me in?
I won’t be staying very long
And if I came would you offer me coffee or tea?
I don’t see how that could be wrong
‘Cause yesterday when I asked you for the time
You said, “I don’t talk to strangers, please”
But I recognized in those eyes the pain of the night
Well, I’m not him and he’s not me
So take my watch, take my wallet for collateral
Check my license for I.D.
‘Cause someday soon you’ll have to take
That leap of faith, you gun shy girl
You’ve been living inside your mind drinking bottled sunlight
And clinging tight to your misery
Well take a knife, find that face and you can cut it out
And burn the photo with those memories
So take my watch, take my wallet for collateral
Check my license for I.D.
‘Cause someday soon you’ll have to take
That leap of faith, you gun shy girl
Looking out from my house
I can see your shades are finally opening
Window conversations, potted plants
Toss the birdseed on the lawn, again
You gun shy girl
You can take my watch, take my wallet for collateral
Check my license for I.D.
‘Cause someday soon you’ll have to take
That leap of faith, you gun shy girl
Gun shy girl
Make it soon
