    No Myth

    by: Michael Penn

    So, she says it's time she goes
    But wanted to be sure I know
    She hopes we can be friends
    I think, yeah, I guess we can say I
    But didn't think to ask her why
    She blocked her eyes and drew the curtains
    With knots I've got yet to untie
    What if I were Romeo in black jeans
    What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
    Maybe she's just looking for
    Someone to dance with
    See, it was just too soon to tell
    And looking for some parallel
    Can be an endless game
    We, we said goodbye before hello
    My secrets she will never know
    And if I dig a hole to China
    I'll catch the first junk to Soho
    What if I were Romeo in black jeans
    What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
    Maybe she's just looking for
    Someone to dance with
    Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure
    Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
    I'm between the poles and the equator
    Don't send no private investigator to find me please
    'Less he speaks Chinese
    And can dance like Astaire overseas, okay
    What if I were
    What if I was
    Maybe she's just looking for
    Someone to dance with
    What if I were Romeo in black jeans
    What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
    Maybe she's just looking for
