lyrics

Keely Aimee sat next to me,
my hairs stood up on end.
Keely Aimee, maybe one night
we could be better friends.

I know this town's been hard on you,
I've seen the neighbor's 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, I know this world
is such a heavy weight.
And Keely Aimee, those crow's feet perched
at such an early age.
But 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 we're asleep,
we'll dream of a 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.
