I said I’d drive a long way just to see you play and I really meant it but the web says you’re 3000 miles away and the tundra prevents it

I said it tongue-in-cheek, and that number it gave me is as the raven flies Who knows what’s way down the road? But in the near-term I best vote for a compromise

if I try to sing some songs like you do
if I try to sing some songs like you do
if I try…  and even a tiny hint comes shining through
I should try to sing some songs like you do

today somewhere I read in a story on the web about a girl named Danni could’ve been the chili peppers but instead my head remembers a song I heard you play last february

a song I said I’d drive a thousand miles to hear you play and I mostly really meant it… at least five hundred but fuel costs a pretty dime and there’s this thing called space-time… I didn’t invent it… even though I’m a physicist… or a physician… or something…

 but if I try to sing some songs like you do
if I try to sing some songs like you do
if I try…  and even a tiny hint comes shining through
I should try to sing some songs like you do.
