Lyrics
You draw all these faces, I bow my head to look
And though I don’t know the originals, I prefer the ones in your book
And I wish I could see the whole world like that
Through the shapes and the shades whenever, wherever you sat
The way that you dress, no one looks quite like you
Old rugged jackets, sometimes you wear carpets too
The most beautiful garments don’t come with a name
See, the best-looking girl helps the world all the same
You are the one for which I never thought to look
The stranger bound for impact after every turn I took
I’m haunted by your voice, but not the demons that it killed
It sounds just like the wind past the house I haven’t built
The books that you read are the books I never touch
And I guess that’s not strange, I’ve never been one to read all that much
The place they take you is the place I wanna go
So I can learn a piece of all that you know
You are the one for which I never thought to look
The stranger bound for impact after every turn I took
I’m haunted by your voice, but not the demons that it killed
It sounds just like the wind past the house I haven’t built
The luckiest man alive is whoever lives in the house you call home
The happiest man, whoever sees you smile
The loneliest man alive is writing songs sweet as a lime
For the wealthiest is whoever has the most of your time
And it seems my time is yours to devour
I’ve been staring at the back of your head for an hour
You are the one for which I never thought to look
A stranger bound for impact after every turn I took
I’m haunted by your soul, but not the demons that it killed
I hope some of it is spilt at the house I haven’t built
