lyrics

I'm at the park with Caroline
But the wind won't blow and the sun won't shine
All I need is some sort of signal
Thought when Caroline was on the swing
The grass would whistle or the dust would sing
But no one says nothing except the two of us.
No one else is here.

I'm on a walk with Caroline
But the stars above us won't align
It's the same mess up there that it always is
When Caroline looks up at me
The air and soil don't agree.
I thought this was supposed to be simple.

I guess that was a lot to ask of a girl.
I guess that was a bit much to expect.

Waiting for her in the cold at three
Know just how I want this night to be
She should've been here half an hour ago
Driving home with Revolver playing
I curse my luck and recall her saying
If there's one word to describe me, it's "practical."

I was on the road with Caroline
Watching carefully for a sign
But somehow we still ended up in New Hampshire
By the roadside late that night
Didn't turn out like I thought it might.
I wanted a little of something magical.

I guess that was a lot to ask of a girl.
I guess that was a bit much to expect.
