Come find me out behind the house that I don't live in,
I haven't lived in it for years
I'll wait for you outside your dorm in Ohio,
I'll hold your place till you appear
And I don't think it's an illusion, and I don't dream of total fusion
This is my story, that is your story, listen to what they sound like now
Come lie with me in the bed of my father,
Come to the room where he will die,
I'll lay my head on that place in your belly
Where I can feel your father still alive
And I don't think it's an illusion, and I don't dream of total fusion
This is my father, that is your father, what could they be thinking now?
Come meet me out on the grass in your new dress,
With everyone we know watching from chairs
And underneath the sky that ruins everything beneath it,
Let's say the best things human beings say
And I don't think it's an illusion, and I don't dream of total fusion
This is my hand, that is your hand, look at what they're doing now
