[Verse 1]
Moved in with a box of tapes
And a dented silver lamp
You were watering the roses
On the porch across the ramp
Your name was on the mailbox
Black paint, crooked little line
I swear I heard your laughter
Before I saw you in the shine
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every window feels like yours
Every step hits like a drum
I keep my secret in my chest
Till the right night comes
[Chorus]
Girl next door, look at me
Girl next door, can’t you see
I can fly, I can fly
If you’ll just let me in tonight
Girl next door, take my hand
Girl next door, understand
I can fly, I can fly
And I want to show you why
[Verse 2]
I fix the fence at sunset
You hum while you paint the gate
You say the town feels smaller
Than the map that made you wait
I got a scar behind my shoulder
From a roof and a winter storm
I learned to keep my ceiling
Way above the shape of warm
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ve been circling this feeling
Like a streetlamp in the rain
If I tell you who I am
Will you say my name?
[Chorus]
Girl next door, look at me
Girl next door, can’t you see
I can fly, I can fly
If you’ll just let me in tonight
Girl next door, take my hand
Girl next door, understand
I can fly, I can fly
And I want to show you why
[Bridge]
Meet me where the map ends
Behind the pool at ten
I’ll rise above the fences
Then come back down again
If you’re scared, just say it
I’ve got room for that
I didn’t come to vanish
I came to bring you back
[Final Chorus]
Girl next door, look at me
Girl next door, can’t you see
I can fly, I can fly
If you’ll just let me in tonight
Girl next door, take my hand
Girl next door, understand
I can fly, I can fly
And I want to show you why
I can fly, I can fly
And I want to show you why
