lyrics

Hey lover where are you I said to an empty house in the snow
Turned around and you were gone like heat through an open window
Saw a note said you're Paris-bound, but you don't write that way
I suspect that someone crept in and took you away
And I don't wanna talk about what happened in the past
I just wanna think about how I'm gonna get you back
And there's a reason why girl rhymes with world
All the flags that have been unfurled
On all the ships on the seven seas
And all the songs sung by boys like me
Lover I'm leaving my spartan ways behind
Gonna lay siege to your heart until you're once again mine
And I could write an epic poem about your lips
Yeah you got a face that could launch a thousand scripts
And there's a reason why girl rhymes with world
All the flags that have been unfurled
On all the ships on the seven seas
And all the songs sung by boys like me
And there's a reason why girl rhymes with world
I'm shucking oysters just looking for a pearl
I'm looking everywhere I don't understand
How I let you slip right through my hands
Wa-hoo-oh
Wa-hoo-oh
And there's a reason why girl rhymes with world
All the flags that have been unfurled
On all the ships on the seven seas
And all the songs sung by boys like me
And there's a reason why girl rhymes with world
I'm shucking oysters just looking for a pearl
I'm looking everywhere I don't understand
How I let you slip right through my hands
