White Picket Fence Songtext
von Five for Fighting

I′ve cut off the curls
I've shaved half my face
Became half the man
You asked to replace
I′m willing to save you
You said you're worth saving
But half of my appetite's lost
Half its craving

Stand in the mirror
Well that′s me beside you
The one with the smile
The one who abides you
Now don′t mind the madman
The killer, the lover
Well he's slowly fading
One into the other


And where is that white picket fence
That I painted myself
In the late days of April
Where are the daffodil mountains
I know that they′re somewhere
Around here by the garden

You say that you're happy
Well you should know better
I see that you′ve sewn up
That rip in your sweater
That some lover tore off you
That left you both shaken
That bled deep inside you
The wound you'd forsaken

And where is that white picket fence
That I painted myself
In the late days of April
Where are the daffodil mountains
I know that they′re somewhere
Around here by the garden


Don't fear I will save you
Don't shout you′ll awaken
The corpse in the desert
Staked out beside you
I cut off his wing
And shaved half his face
But I thought that I saw
His eyes move
