There Lyrics - Singles - Admiral Twin

I first met my girlfriend in the park one April day 

she was sitting underneath my favorite tree 

I had to say "you can't sit there" 

She laughed at me you know I couldn't help but like her 

told her so 

and then I guess I must've closed my eyes and kissed her 

looked again 

still there 

How did she get here? 

Why today appear? 

How can she be here? 

Minutes stretched to days to months 

we never left that spot 

I swear they had to mow around us 

carved our names into the tree and pledged that we'd be there 

One day we're talking 

suddenly she's got to play a game of hide and seek 

I close my eyes and count to ten 

look again 

she's gone 

Someone tell me please 

how long must I wait for her to be a good friend to her now? 

I can only count so high; the numbers just run out 

but I won't stop until they do 

Looked high and low, looked all around but couldn't find her 

climbed a tree--nothing to see but people looking at me funny 

called her name 

I swear I spent the next three years just trying to find her 

thought I saw her once or twice but I'm not sure 

one thing I know though: 

when she goes 

she's gone 

How can I be there 

when I can't find her anywhere? 

How can I be 

unless she is 

why should I be 

there.
