He said,
I'm not dead but don't wake me ever
'Cause I may have to think this through
She said she's changed her mind and I didn't try to put it right

Though I've every reason to
I don't know, she wouldn't say
Exactly when she intends to mince her light fantastic my way
And make my very best day

Let me tell you the way it will always be
He'll see it all but he won't see me
And didn't I give him every sign
That his best days are leaving me behind

She said,
Later, if it's her you can say I've gone away
I get nowhere peachy keen
You tell her next week and maybe find out where they're going

Just so I know where I should be
She's got a nerve and that's okay but I want to hear her
When she's finally got something decent to say
Could be my very best day

What exactly do you want me to say
No I don't feel good for you
And you can get that girls out of my face
I don't enjoy her like you do

And this is the way it will always be
He's seen it all but he won't see me
And how do I show him diamond skies
When all he has are best days in his eyes
