“My Share of the Sidewalk”

Lyrics Permalink
If you’re the girl that I noticed
Putting a diamond in my mind’s eye
Then you’re more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk
If you’re the chick I saw in the tall grass
Looking at summer through tinted blue glass
Then you’re more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk
’Cause I’ve never been this close before
To someone who didn’t seem to mind
I’ve never found hellos before
I’ve only found goodbyes
If you’re the girl I met in my daydreams
Handing out flowers and chocolate ice cream
Then you’re more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk
If you’re the girl that I talked to
And said, “Do you mind if I love you?”
Then you’re more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk
’Cause I’ve never been this close before
To someone who didn’t run and hide
I’ve never found hellos before
I’ve only found goodbyes
If you’re the girl I met in my daydreams
Handing out flowers and chocolate ice cream
Then you’re more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk
If you’re the girl that I talked to
And said, “Do you mind if I love you?”
Then you’re more than welcome to my share of the sidewalk
