I'm coming down off this thing

The ridgepole's shattered and this life don't mean a thing

But Amanda I can't get you off my mind

I've waited my whole life for you but I've blown it all again this time



Amanda your eyes break my heart

And those looks you give me in the morning tear me apart

And I'd give up enlightenment if you'd only ask for it



I spend my summers in New York

I spend my winters too here, it's always cold and dark

But Amanda, you burn like a flame

I'd give myself to you in ways that words just can't explain



(CHORUS)



Amanda let's go where rose trees grow

I want to show you every nook and cranny of my soul

I want to lay you down on sunlit grass and hear every detail of your past

I want to meet your family, want you to meet mine

I want to make the most of our time here together

I want to show you that this ain't no way to live



Amanda, if you give me one more chance

I'll take you out to dinner and I promise I'll make you laugh



Amanda, your eyes break my heart

And those looks you give me in the morning tear me apart

And I'd give up enlightenment if you'd only ask for it
