Hum Along (Live)
[Verse 1]
You'll never hear this song
You'll never see the movie in my head
But you infest my sleep, and your figure creeps
Through my walls and hums above my bed
I know your name
And that you're photogenic and tall
But I've never heard you talk
And there's something about you
That stabs me right through

[Chorus]
It isn't right for me to paint your picture
Every night, but I do
(I can't find sleep)
And it feels so wrong
(I breathe too deep)
To sing this song
(Into the sky)
But maybe, somehow
(As I walk and sing)
You'll hear me
(You'll hear this song)
And hum along

[Post-Chorus]
You'll hum along
You'll hum along
You'll hum along
[Verse 2]
And I've only seen you once
At your graduation
No cinematic glow or soft rock soundtrack
And I watched you move
And breathe and cry
And it felt so wrong

[Chorus]
It isn't right for me to paint your picture
Every night, but I do
(I can't find sleep)
And it feels so wrong
(I breathe too deep)
To sing this song
(Into the sky)
But maybe, somehow
(As I walk and sing)
You'll hear me
(You'll hear this song)
And hum along

[Verse 3]
Maybe you'd be kidnapped by pirates
And they would take you to their hideout
As pirates often do
But I'd find the secret map
And I would vigilante-bushwhack
Through the jungles of Peru
Just to save you
And I'd take you north to Mexico
Where you would tell me your life story
On the steps of a Mayan temple, where we'd camp
Singing nonsense songs in 12 bars
To the jaguars, until you'd sense me
Your eyes convincing, and I would kiss you
Like a hero in the half-light
Dryer sheets and peach shampoo
The smell of palm leaves, I'd sleep against you
Until the natives found us
But they would crown us king and queen
And we could stay there, spend our days there
Eating guava by the sea
And I could understand your views
And you could fall in love with me
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
And while the silly human race
Talks to droids in outer-space
We grow old
And laugh about this song
And between the jungle and the stars
You sing nonsense songs in 12 bars to me
And in my sleep
I hum along

[Outro]
You'll never hear this song
You'll never see the movie in my head
