I'LL GET OVER YOU

I’D BEEN WAITING ALL MY LIFE
I DIDN’T KNOW IT AT THE TIME
FOR YOU TO SAY HELLO
AND NOW YOU’VE SAID GOODBYE
BROKEN HEARTS AND BROKEN HOMES
YOU KNOW IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY
FACES PRESSED AGAINST THE GLASS
FRAMED PICTURES OF THE PAST
BUT I’LL GET OVER YOU

PLANES FLY EVERYWHERE
PAINTED ANGELS LEAVE THE DIRT
A WEEK OR TWO IN PARIS
SHOULD HELP TO EASE THE HURT
WATCH THE SUN SET ON THE SEINE
TRY TO PAINT JUST WHERE IT FELL
SIT AWHILE WITH RODAN
AND HIS SCULPTED GATES OF HELL
WHILE I GET OVER YOU

TIME IS ON MY SIDE
YOU KNOW DAYLIGHT TREATS ME WELL
WITH EVERY WINDOW OPEN WIDE
FOR THE BIRDS HAVE SONGS TO TELL
GOD MAY TAKE TOMORROW
FOR THE DEVIL TOOK TODAY
ME I TRY TO BELIEVE
TO BELIEVE IN WHAT I SAY
THAT I’LL GET OVER YOU
