Cockatoo

Better than I Imagined,
Better than I hoped for and prayed.
Here tonight, gone today.
But I like it that way.

Thinkin' about a moment,
I can never seem to replace.
It's the look in your face,
When I lean in to say,

That your heart isn't mine.
But please could I borrow it?
I'll give it right back in the morning light.
In a world of regret,
With a head full of emptiness,
A wish that will never come true.
But at least I'm enjoying the view.

Somebody else's lover,
Tellin' me that I'm her best friend.
But I cannot pretend,
That is not what I meant.

Give it another minute,
Later we will say our farewells.
I'm not done with you still.
You were there when I fell.
It was easy to tell,

That your heart isn't mine.
But please could I borrow it?
I'll give it right back in the morning light.
In a world of regret,
With a head full of emptiness,
A wish that will never come true.
But at least I'm enjoying the view.

I'm not asking for oceans,
Of endless devotion.
Just give me an hour or two.
Here's a door and some music.
I suggest that you use it.
It's the language of lover's "adeui"
Parlez-vous?

And your heart isn't mine.
So please could I borrow it?
I'll give it right back in the morning light.
In a world of regret,
With a head full of emptiness,
A wish that will never come true.
But at least I'm enjoying the view.
I know some things weren't meant to pursue.
I'm not leaving till you know it too.
