In February of 1989, you and I
We played telephone all night with our strings stretched so tight
You'd say…”can you hear me? I hear you too”
“What is the greatest price you'd be willing to pay?”
“Would you jump out the window and break those legs for me?”

Well, it's just the birds in the trees, and the sky, and you and I
“So come on kid, If you'd like I'll give you a reason to cry”

Cause I've learned my lesson and I'm ok
You can do, you can do better
My leg is light as a feather
My cast is off and I'm ok
You can do, you can do better
Just look at the weather

Flowered skirts and soft white lines find their way into my adolescent mind
They get me almost every single time
You'd like to see me fall, wouldn't you?
You'd like to do it to me
“You can see right through me”

It's just the bats in the night sky, and you and I
“So come on kid, if you'd like I'll give you a reason to smile”

Cause I've learned my lesson and I'm ok
You can do, you can do better
My leg is light as a feather
My cast is off and I'm ok
You can do, you can do better
Just look at the weather

Cause I've learned my lesson and I'm ok
You can do, you can do better
My leg is light as a feather
My cast is off and I'm ok
You can do, you can do better
Just look at the weather.
It’s bound to change just like you did
Cause I’m not an idiot
I’m not an idiot

There’s just one thing you mustn't forget, your pains not over yet
