Michael Penn

Off the album March (1989).

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 "hi"

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

Could 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

What if I was...

So what if I was...

Maybe she's just looking for

Someone to dance with

What if I was Romeo in black jeans

What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth

Maybe she's just looking for

Someone to dance with

I hardly hear this song - but it's not a bad song from 1989. I like the end to this song - "No Myth" by Michael Penn.

This song came out when I was a junior in college and I remember thinking, "POETRY!" This song's so well written and just a gem, great music behind it, too. Sweet memories every time i hear it.:)

I remember this song from the 2000 film "Loser" (I liked that film, many others didn't). Good tune; I had it burned on disc, but the disc has a hairline crack that leaves it unplayable.
