She held the world upon a string

But she didn't ever hold me

Spun the stars on her fingernails

But it never made her happy

Cause she couldn't ever have me

She said she won the world at a carnival

But she could never win me

Cause she couldn't ever 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

Throw an old 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'd wanna kiss you all the time

Yeah, she'd wanna kiss you all the time



She said she won the world at a carnival

But I'm sure it didn’t ruin her

Just made her more interesting

I'm sure it didn’t ruin her

Just made her more interesting



I, I know why

Because when I look in her eyes

I just see the sky

When I look in her eyes

Well I, 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

Throw an old line out to sea

To see if I can catch a dream
