Down round my corner on two Endo Street
High in the building with a new front porch
A girl in a window is deep in debate
Whether to slouch or to sit up straight

And I have been wakin up and walkin outside
Down on my corner on two Endo Street
A girl in a window watches me walk by
I best decide if I like to know why

Oh this it not the way...
All we are is all we've ever been, we're gonna be
And the light I thought I saw was only me
A reflection of affection incomplete
Just a picture in a pothole, puddle in the middle of the street

So I step right up, knock on the door
Straight in my shadow, I knock once more
The girl from the window she's not in the window, no
But I can hear footsteps falling on stairs

Oh this it not the way...
All we are is all we've ever been, we're gonna be
And the light I thought I saw was only me
A reflection of affection incomplete
Just a picture in a pothole, puddle in the middle of the street

The door opens up, the sky opens too
I watch her eyes realize what to do
So now from the window, we watch the storm blow
Squadrons of raindrops filling potholes

Oh this it not the way...
All we are is all we've ever been, we're gonna be
And the light I thought I saw was only me
A reflection of affection incomplete
Just a picture in a pothole, puddle in the middle of the street
