Well, I’ve been listening softly to that music in the trees
Caught up in the flow of that synchronized disease
I can’t put my mind exactly on those words that you said
‘Cause I’ve been laughing in the dark to those circles in my head
Singing, maybe someday
Maybe someday
Maybe someday I’ll understand
Well, you live in a state of constant anticipation
Trying to reach a point of solid validation
I can see that you try from the soles of your shoes
But you’re really very quite confused
But, maybe someday
Maybe someday
Maybe someday you’ll understand
Well, if I could look through the fog and pry my way inside
To those hidden little treasures in the vessels in your eyes
Well, I’d tell you ‘bout your soul and you’d tell me ‘bout mine
And there’d be something profound about that moment
But I can’t, no I can’t define our direction
‘Cause I can’t, no I can’t define our reflections
And I wonder if it will ever seem clear
‘Cause right now we just happen to be here
But, maybe someday
Maybe someday
Maybe someday we’ll understand
Well, this is only two minutes long
Which is far too short to be a song
So you ask me what I’m thinking ‘bout
Well, I’ll tell you what I’m thinking ‘bout
I’m thinking ‘bout Owl faces!
Owl faces! Owl faces!
Owl faces in the dark
Ooh, owl faces! Owl faces!
Owl faces in the dark
So I ask you what you want to be
And you tell me that you want to be
Well, something more than what you are
Well, I’m sorry to be so frank but you aint nothing babe
You aint nothing at all
And there aint nothing you can say
And there aint nothing you can do
But that’s
That’s why I like you.
