Because you know that it was really a Jeff
Buckley kind of day
The sky covered the city in that
Pretty kind of gray
I saw you on the corner and I
Thought I heard you say
"Hey
Don't I know your silly face from somewhere?"
I said, "Yes I do indeed believe
I remember you
With the
Pebble on your shoulder and the
Devil in your shoes
Tell me
Are they still dancing up a storm
Down at Kanga Roo's?"
You said
"I'll be there tonight
Why don't you come there?"
And I knew right away that you would break my heart
All the minutes of the day that you would
Break my heart
Yes I knew right away that you would
Break my heart
And I stayed
Anyway
Because you know that it was really a Jeff
Buckley kind of day
As we walked along
I said, "I wish I'd
Seen him at Sine
And I know it might sound strange but I'll
Say it anyway
Almost
Every day at some point
I think of him"
You said, "It's
Awesome when someone like that
Gets inside your soul
And I know he's only human and it's
Only rock and roll
But to hear that voice and stare into those
Lonely eyes of coal...
How could you do anything but
Love him?"
And I knew then and there that you would break my heart
Completely fair and square that you would break my heart
Yes I knew then and there that you would break my heart
And I stayed anyway
When I got to Kanga Roo's There was an
Air about the place
I had to catch my breath the moment
That I saw your face
We slow danced as the DJ played
The third song from Grace
And when it ended
You kissed me like you meant it
Now a month has passed there's been no sign of
You within my life
"So Real" inside my head this crazy dream
You'd be my wife
The pain is somewhere in between a
Safety pin and butter knife
But there's no way I ever could resent it
'Cause I knew all along you would break my heart
No matter right or wrong that you would break my heart
Yes
I knew all along that you would break my heart
And I stayed anyway
Because you know that it was really a Jeff Buckley
Kind of day
