Light the signal fire, I said I'm coming home,

I don't remember if I had something here

or I can't complain about it,

I got a piece of perfect always on my mind I see her now,

And I don't know if it's that I don't care, or she won't care,

Explain away and I do, the picture perfect thing,

I would light the time, I could mean so much too you,

Explain away and you do, The picture perfect dream,

Lies and reasons hide what it is you mean to me,

Who she really is, I forgot to check this time,

I got to be obtrusive, It's my life to be hung up about it,

And maybe she'll be happy if I breach the walls around her,

And I don't know if it's that I don't care or she don't care,

Explain away and I do, The picture perfect thing,

I would light the time, I could mean so much to you,

Explain away and you do, The picture perfect dream,

Lies and reasons hide what it is you mean to me,

So don't complain to me, It's you,

You really want to talk to,

I got ideas to lend but I'm afraid the cost to reach you,

One look reality, And here I am to heal your pieces,

And all there is to do today is start for perfect endings,

Explain away, explain away and I do, do, do,

explain away and I do, do, do
