Drops of Jupiter



~

now that she's back in the atmosphere
with drops of Jupiter in her hair
she acts like summer and walks like rain
reminds me that there's a time to change
since the return of her stay on the moon
she listens like spring and she talks like June

but tell me, did you sail across the sun?
did you make it to the Milkey Way to see the light all faded,
and that heaven is overrated?

and tell me, did you fall from a shooting star,
one without a permanent scar?
and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

now that she's back from that soul vacation
tracing her way through the constellations
she checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
reminds me that there's a time to grow
now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might take me as
plain ol' Jane told a story 'bout a man
who was too afraid to fly, so he never did land

but tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
and head back to the Milkey Way?

and tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
was it everything you wanted to find?
and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

can you imagine no love, pride, deep fried chicken?
your best friend always sticking up for you,
even when I know you're wrong?
can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance?
five hour phone conversation?
the best soy latte that you never had
and me?

but tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
and head back to the Milkey Way?

but tell me, did you sail across the sun?
did you make it to the Milkey Way to see the light all faded,
and that heaven is overrated?

and tell me, did you fall from a shooting star,
one without a permanent scar?
and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
