She held the world upon a string.
But she didn't never hold me.
She spun the stars on her fingernails.

But it never made her happy.
Because she couldn't ever have me.
She said she'd won the world at a carnival.

But she couldn't never win me.
'Cause she couldn't never catch me.
I...I know why.
Because when I look in her eyes, I just see the sky.
When I look in her eyes, well I just see the sky.

I don't love you. I'm just passing the time.
You could love me,
If I knew how to lie?
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind.
Throwing a line out to sea.
To see if I can catch a dream.

The sun was always in her eyes.
She didn't even see me.
But that girl had so much love.
She wanna kiss you all the time.
Yeah, she wanna kiss you all the time.
She said she'd won the world at a carnival.

I'm sure I didn't ruin her, I just made her more interesting.
I'm sure I didn't ruin her, I just made her more interesting.
When I look in her eyes, well I just see the sky.

I don't love you. I'm just passing the time.
You could love me,
If I knew how to lie?
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind.
Throwing a line out to sea.
To see if I can catch a dream.
