Lyrics
Long Island
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
you're pretty dreamy for a boy from
long island
you should come to see me on my
western horizon
seems as though it's cause we're never meant to meet
but i just look at you and know you're pretty sweet
i want to set a place for you at my table
we can sit forever watching reruns on cable
take you driving in my brother's beat old car
sharing a cigarette and wish upon a star together
so you say you like my shirt
(i like your shirt)
and you say you've got a lot just like them
(i've got a lot just like them)
and i hear you wrote a song about me
by definition, a crush must hurt
and they do
and they do
just like the one i have on you.

and you say you've got a lot just like them
