I want to go on a date with a girl who likes to paint
And she might call me Joe instead of Joseph
And I might call her Heather Day because that’s her name
Heather Day lives far away but that’s OK
‘Cause there are planes
Each of them has a name and each name
Is chosen by her with the same
Care and scrutiny as every mark she makes in the paint
And that’s great if you like that kind of thing which I do
Places we’ve slept and brushed our teeth
Counted our eggs before they hatched into the beds
Where we slept making lists on cocktail napkins
Of the places where we’ve slept
Drawing smiley faces next to all the eggs that were the best
Places we’ve slept
Let’s be honest listen up how we end up site specific
Thanks so much keeping up with you things we say
Birthday balloons things we hold rain in your hands
We were sleeping you’re a handful upkeep raw
Backtracking one and two
