Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song about a former high school
teacher who was arrested on morals charges
Lyrics
I was alone, I was lost in your dark eyes
lying awake through a New England sunrise
I was alone, I was determined, I was undone
Lost in a daydream, Caveat Emptor, lost what I won
But I know its a game
Taking the eyes from a face I remember
pasting them over a miss June or September
Never enough, chasing the magic of skin in the sun
caught in a daydream, Caveat Emptor, lost what I won.
But I know its a game
A mask on my head, I took a taste of those wide eyes
trading some change for a hand and a surprise
a knock on the door, the glossy page piles, straight to the sun
trapped in a daydream, Caveat Emptor, lost what I won.
I was alone I was determined I was undone.
But I know, its a game.
