ADMIRAL TWIN - THERE lyrics

I first met my girlfriend in the park one April day

she was sitting underneath my favorite tree

I had to say "you can't sit there"

She laughed at me you know I couldn't help but like her

told her so

and then I guess I must've closed my eyes and kissed her

looked again

still there

How did she get here?

Why today appear?

How can she be here?

Minutes stretched to days to months

we never left that spot

I swear they had to mow around us

carved our names into the tree and pledged that we'd be there

One day we're talking

suddenly she's got to play a game of hide and seek

I close my eyes and count to ten

look again

she's gone

Someone tell me please

how long must I wait for her to be a good friend to her now?

I can only count so high; the numbers just run out

but I won't stop until they do

(one million and one...one million and two...etc.)

Looked high and low, looked all around but couldn't find her

climbed a tree--nothing to see but people looking at me funny

called her name

I swear I spent the next three years just trying to find her

thought I saw her once or twice but I'm not sure

one thing I know though:

when she goes

she's gone

How can I be there

when I can't find her anywhere?

How can I be

unless she is

why should I be

there.
