I'm just a bird on a perch and I'm on a search for the
Prettiest creature in the seven seas
And then I saw you on the street you were just walking to the beat
You had the prettiest features that I'd ever seen.
I put my hands into my pockets and I climbed into my rocket
And I flew then threw a kick-ass party on the moon.
And though I had a good time (Just as worthy as explosions in my mind)
I swear the whole time I was thinking of you, while I sing...
And I whistle too...
While I'm missing you...
And so I climbed out of my spaceship and I went down to my basement
And I picked up my guitar: Started writing this song and you'll see (even though you're blind)
I hope you're hearing this song, you'll play it all night long.
And though you'll think I'm wrong, at least you're thinking of me, while I sing...
And I whistle too...
While I'm missing you...
I know a place where we can go to sleep.
Down by the shore on the floor by the deep blue sea.
