Lyrics[]
For days I watched you from my place A thousand miles away in space Remembering your body, how it it turned me into what I am now I have not broken any laws To work toward my stupid cause I can see you now from where I am I can see you completely I planted hedges of hydrangea Because you were going to Pennsylvania And i didn't know what else to do I wanted to put my hands on you I wanted to tell you everything But I ended up here orbiting I can see you now I can feel you now From where I am, I can see you completely I went into your room It got so crazy in there The air turned hot and I saw them But I didn't read your letters I will never bleed like I used to bleed again I can't bleed like normal men But I can see you My heart beats like a magic drum From where I am, I can see you completely
