Keely Aimee sat next to me

My hair stood up on end

And Keely Aimee, maybe one night

We could be better friends

I know this town's been hard on you

I've seen the neighbors close their shades

But Keely, they've got their secrets too

So you fell in some mud, you haven't fallen from grace



Keely Aimee, I'm sure you dreamed you'd do far greater things

But, Keely, I wish you wouldn't dwell on what could and couldn't be

I know how dreams can let you down

I've had some rude awakenings

But Keely, I still go back to sleep

In the dead of night you spring to life for me



Keely Aimee

Keely Aimee



Keely Aimee, I know this world is such a heavy weight

And, Keely Aimee, those crows feet perched at such an early age

Well, I'd help you shoo those birds away

If the burden's just too much

See, Keely, I love your suffering like gravity loves a stumbling drunk



So Keely Aimee, lay next to me

Rest your head against mine

In all of the world I've never known a sadder Valentine

And when will I sleep and dream of the city towering into the clouds?

We'll run through the streets anonymously

A whole new life

If only we knew how



Keely Aimee

If only we knew how

Keely Aimee

Oh, no, no

If we knew how

If we knew how

If we knew how
