BOY WHO LOVED SONGS

he was down by the dock thinkin' 'bout the rock
he was far away he was 10 
leaning back on a tree with his AM IV
the Bee Gees' must have known about his girlfriend
'cause every lyric felt so tragically true 
and every note cut right on through
and his parents were concerned but they finally learned
that there was nothing that they could do

he's just the boy who loved songs too much
traumatically out of touch 
just dreaming his days away
he didn't wanna play catch football or fetch  
just sing and bang the ivories all day
but the dream is always better than the real thing anyway
so they let him have his pacifying crutch  
he's just the boy who loved songs too much

he was looking so cool rocking at the school
while the magic sparked from the upright
crooning hits for the girls with his golden blond curls
and lighting matches for their dreams to ignite
and in the abstract a feeling so real
he overdosed on it's appeal
they rushed him to the I.C.U. where he finally came to
his diagnosis was soon revealed

he's just the boy who loved songs too much
traumatically out of touch 
just dreaming his days away
he didn't wanna play catch football or fetch  
just sing and bang the ivories all day
but the dream is always better than the real thing anyway
so they let him have his pacifying crutch  
he's just the boy who loved songs too much
