I met a girl with eyes the color of a storm cloud
Her ghost follows me, on the bus from South Dakota
And the rain came down
All the way to California
She calls me name, and it feels like I am hypnotized
Shaking it off, I turn away from the ticket window
And the sun comes out, and shines down
All the way to her apartment
She was the one
I feel like Ben Franklin's dog, left out in the weather
My ears have gotten very wet, and there's a kite tied to my collar
And the flashing lights and the crushing feelings
And my stomach churns and I smell something burning
She was the one
If you'll be my kite
I will be your anchor
When it all goes right
Love is so terrifying
She was the one
