Song For Shannon Lyrics

If we lived next door,
I'd tell you that I love you.
I would paint a map
and paste it high above you.

And I'll tell you why
I am so glad to be alive
and be here
with you.

Cause if we lived next door,
I'm hoping you'd be singing with me too.

If we lived next,
I'd paint the sky yellow.
So we can lie
on our backs,
and we can both be mellow.

And in a world full of darkness,
loss of hope and despair,
I'm hoping you can keep me from there.

And if we lived next door,
I'm hoping I can finally be safe.

Cause when the tickets are hot,
and you can't paint in your loft,
I'm hoping I can keep you from there.
Because your all dear to me,
although I may be a creep.
I'm just attached to the people I greet.

But if we lived next door,
we'd play till our fingers turn blue.
And maybe the world will hear us too
