Miss Amanda's living down by the creek
But she ain't felt the sun to skin in something feels like a week
Cuz she's stuck inside her mind, she could sure use a dream
David's walking back and forth on the road
And he knows what he knows, but don't know where he's going and
Sometimes life gets wild, or so he should think
But he's been saving up his pennies, and he's ready to splurge
She's been looking at the map and thinks she's ready to burst
He's been holding back from asking if she thinks that this is what they deserve
She said, "You're drop-dead red, was it something I said?
Cuz you've been running round in circles while I'm still in my bed
I've been looking for an easy way to say 'I'm hanging on by a thread'
But still there's something going on in my head"
Mandy's looking at the back of her hand
She's thinking just a couple months and they'd be ready to dance
But they're stuck inside their lives, and they won't get the chance
But David's holding onto hoping that they're still in the end
And with the rock that's in his pocket, all he needs is her hand
He's been looking for the time and finding nothing, but he'll take what he can
She said, "You're drop-dead red, was it something I said?
Cuz you've been running round in circles while I'm still in my bed
I've been looking for an easy way to say 'I'm hanging on by a thread'
But still there's something going on in my head"
My head
They've been going back and forth for a while
All he needs is a smile, and he's ready to fly
But she's been thinking all she needs' to feel the breeze and leave her troubles behind
She said, "You're drop-dead red, was it something I said?
Cuz you've been running round in circles while I'm still in my bed
I've been looking for an easy way to say 'I'm hanging on by a thread'"
He said "I'm drop-dead red, but it's nothing you said
Cuz I've been holding onto hoping that I'll still get the chance
And there's no easy way to say it, but you got me hanging on by a thread
But still there's something going on in my head"
My head
I'm red
And there's no easy way to say it, but there's something going on in my head
