[Verse 1] The sky grows bigger every day And the other week I hopped on a train Cutting through state lines To come to you as the crow flies Out there in the offing everything was melon and orange [Chorus] Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep? [Verse 2] And I just want you to know That every pool of water reminds me of you Is that all right? I hope you think its cool Sometimes a train cant go as fast as I want it to [Chorus] Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep? I rolled over and over Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets Trying to touch your knees [Verse 3] Everything seemed a little easier When we werent one hundred miles apart The person across from me Sitting in her train seat, reminded me of you And I looked out past her cheeks Through the glasslight conduit The sun had sunk Disappeared into New Jersey Oh, why dont they have phones on these things? What can I do? Im stuck thinking about you [Chorus] Did you know, my sweet That I once took the liberty of watching you in your sleep? I rolled over and over Trying to touch your knees underneath the sheets Trying to touch your knees
