This is about the girl I WOULDN'T let get away (but eventually did).
Teig: "This song is about a girl that i met through Deirdre. She made a great first impression on me, she was unlike anyone i had ever met before. I didn't see her again for a couple of months and I went thru a big change personally in that time. When i saw her again, it was on one of my worst days... i was asking God to send a sign, and there she came off the Metro North. We had a great night, and i asked for her #. We started talking, but somewhere along the lines, communications started to trail off. As it stands now, I don't think she is a part of my life anymore, and it upsets me. But life is too short to stress this kinda stuff, so i'll live."
wake up, its only 3 am, what are you doing asleep?
i'm doing all i can to see that it won't repeat
behind every curtain call is just a bullshit line from a story too tall
why don't we give into fate and see that we are what we hate
so what is all the fuss about little old me finally falling in love
and whatever happened to songs we'd sing until we saw the words were wrong
and it's just another children's book, taking for granted what we mistook
its true, i'm beginning to lose sight of you and all i see is blue
start the fire, its getting colder in this house on the hill
and we'll conspire all night long until we have had our fill
they'll send someone looking for us when the timing's off
i'm afraid of this condition, its making me too soft
so what is all the fuss about little old me finally falling in love
and whatever happened to songs we'd sing until we saw the words were wrong
and it's just another children's book, taking for granted what we mistook
its true, i'm beginning to lose sight of you and all i see is blue
