Outside my window
An' I swear on my mama's grave
You faded out of the street noise like ... an out-of-focus Polaroid
So I shot the moon, I curse the wind
For makin' me think that you were ... here again
Smoke and mirrors
Somebody stole you away
It's the biggest conspiracy since ... J.F.K.
I combed the corners
And the glass houses
The right directions
But, I never found it
Well I'd trade in all the rest of my days
For just the mere reflection of your face (or)
For one shining moment
With you
Or somebody like you
With you
Or somebody just like you
Call the inspector, cops, and the C.I.A.
They drew chalk circles 'round the ... place that we used to lay
No, nobody testified, not a single witness
Swear I was crucified with, with no forgiveness
And the sheriff shined his light like I was drunk and dangerous
An' my hands were already tied, so he put away his handcuffs an' ...
And in my blind spot I saw a silhouette
Of crazy legs smokin' ... a long black cigarette
Well I'd trade in all the rest of my days
For your crooked smile, your wicked ways
I'd fill up all this empty space
With you
Or somebody like you
With you
Or somebody just like you
With you
Or somebody like you
Now I'm drownin' in the undertow
(Now I'm drownin' in the undertow)
Just burnin' in the afterglow
An' I should've learned my lessons
Done what I was told
Should've counted my blessings, like
Fingers and toes
And now I'm ... trippin' like a blind man
Searchin' high and low
For you
Or somebody like you
For you
Or somebody just like you (Somebody just like you) (Whaaa)
(Somebody like you)
Somebody just like you
Or somebody like you (somebody just like you)
For you
(Or somebody like you)
