Hum Along

You'll never hear this song, you'll never see the movie in my head

But you infest my sleep and your figure creeps

Through my walls and hums above my bed

I know your name and that you're photogenic and tall

But I've never heard you talk

And there's something about you that stabs me right throughIt isn't right for me to paint your picture every night but I do

(I can't find sleep)

And it feels so wrong to sing this song

(I breathe too deep into the sky)

But maybe somehow, you'll hear me and hum along

(As I walk and sing you'll hear a song)

You'll hum along, you'll hum alongAnd I've only seen you once at your graduation

No cinematic glow or soft rock soundtrack

And I watched you move and breathe and cry

And it felt so wrongIt isn't right for me to paint your picture every night but I do

(I can't find sleep)

And it feels so wrong to sing this song

(I breathe too deep into the sky)

But maybe somehow, you'll hear me and hum along

(As I walk and sing you'll hear a song)Maybe you'd be kidnapped by pirates

And they would take you to their hideout as pirates often do

But I'd find the secret map and I would vigilante-bushwhack

Through the jungles of PeruJust to save you and I'd take you north to Mexico

Where you would tell me your life story on the steps of a Mayan temple

Where we'd camp singing nonsense songs

In 12 bars to the jaguars, until you'd sense meYour eyes convincing and I would kiss you like a hero in the half-light

Dryer sheets and peach shampoo

The smell of palm leaves, I'd sleep against you

Until the natives found us but they would crown us king and queen

And we could stay there, spend our days there, eating guava by the sea

And I could understand your views and you could fall in love with meAnd while the silly human race talks to druids in outer-space

We grow old and laugh about this song

And between the jungle and the stars

You sing nonsense songs in 12 bars to me

And in my sleep I hum along

You'll never hear this song

You'll never see the movie in my head
