Annies Room
Annie was a girl who lived across town
It was the summer before she left for college at Brown
But that's just the beginning
Pouring down rain the night we first met
At first glance I didn't notice anything special
But yet, with a second look she sunk her hooks into me
Baby, those eyes are begging to set me free
Chorus:
I wish that I was sleeping in Annie's room tonight
I wanna hear her breathing as she lay there, tucked in tight
Don't take her away from me, don't you take her away from me
You'll leave me nothing to believe in
I wish that I was sleeping in Annie's room tonight
Beautiful distraction, is that what I need
Well, dear Annie, your beauty is distracting me
And I got no remedy
Can't get away from the voice in my head
It says "Reach out and touch her, and say words unsaid"
But I can't make sense of these feelings in me
There's no escaping her in my dreams
Chorus
Annie, can't you see, you give me air to breathe
Annie, can't you see the love that's buried in me
The truth must be told 'cause baby, I'm sold on you and me
I wish that I was sleeping... oh, Annie
Chorus
You make me
With me by your side
We've come a long way down this road
Now we've got nothing left to hide
I told you the truth baby
I just came out and said it straight
Well, I don't know if I was right or wrong
But it just couldn't wait
No, it just couldn't wait
Chorus:
You turn me upside down, you turn my world around
I owe you everything for all the joy you bring to my life
Took me for who I was and gave me all your love
You make me who I am
We all make mistakes sometimes
It's just a part of life
But you need someone to stand by you, baby
And then break through
Break through to the other side
Chorus
