hiding
almost real
beautiful shadow
stars
found (in the city)
palo alto
empty
silver
close the door
your old guitar

found (in the city)

with so many beautiful girls in the city

there must be one out there for me,

and while i'm just sitting pretty

thinking she's singing a song to me.

i found out

about you

and what was true

i found.

the girl next to me is so pretty

i wonder if she'll even notice,

while i sit here glass half empty

that she looks right through to avoid talking to me.

i found out

about me

and how to be

i found me.

there are so many beautiful girls in this city

maybe i'll go out and find one for me,

meanwhile i'll just try and look pretty

hoping she'll sing a song

for me.

i found out

found…i found you.
