And I'm singing unwritten songs in my head
She provided bittersweet company
I confided how much you mean to me
And this time
It's gonna take a train to pull me through
Some brief distraction from your memory
Is all that I hoped that she might be
And as I let her warm her feet on me
Wish you were her
That I wanted you to be my wife
Is the worst kept secret of my life
Everyone knows
Even my friend here
I've just whispered your name in her ear
And this time
It's gonna take a train to pull me through
Some brief distraction from your memory
Is all that I had hoped that she might be
And I ask her how she takes her tea
Wish you were her
Her
I wish you were her
There's a girl sleeping in my bed And I'm singing unwritten songs in my head She provided bittersweet company I confided how much you mean to me And this time It's gonna take a train to pull me through Some brief distraction from your memory Is all that I hoped that she might be And as I let her warm her feet on me Wish you were her That I wanted you to be my wife Is the worst kept secret of my life Everyone knows Even my friend here I've just whispered your name in her ear And this time It's gonna take a train to pull me through Some brief distraction from your memory Is all that I had hoped that she might be And I ask her how she takes her tea Wish you were her Her I wish you were her Explain Request ×
