Before We Even Met

The highway was an astronaut and I was picking fibers Like I had no other questions for the man So he took me to my front door like my suitcase never moved And he said “now you know exactly where you stand” Both my eyes were empty Both my hands were wet “Before you even knew me, did you hold my silhouette?” “Doll, I knew you before we even met” The sidewalk was a parking lot that I don't care to miss Like the promise of a distant, open space So when the grass grew tall and I was still a pirate of the dirt Darling you stayed true, my saving grace Both my eyes were empty Both my hands were wet “Before you even knew me, did you hold my silhouette?” “Doll, I knew you before we even met” The office parks and movie screens, they all just sing your name It's the song I always wished that I could write Once a sleepless electrician, now I'm happy just to listen It's the only thing that gets me through the night Both my eyes were empty Both my hands were wet “Before you even knew me, did you hold my silhouette?” “Doll, I knew you before we even met” “Doll, I knew you before we even met”
