Lyrics
we have a big house, with lots of gardens, and children playing in the school next door, these aren't the best times, these aren't the worst times, but these are my times, i never asked for more, there's always sunshine, and shiny weather, i like it just fine - he likes it better, and i don't know the name, of the people right next door, but i can't complain, he could have had so much more, and he isn't you, and i'll never be, the one that he left behind, each time we look in the mirror, i see, those restless eyes when he finds, that i'm not the one he wanted, and he's not who i dreamed, oh, those restless eyes, and restless me, and when the warm winds that surround me, come raining down me on cold summer nights, he never asks me to surrender, and i remember that when i want to leave, and if my heart beats a touch too fast, and if my eyes blink, he doesn't ask, he lets us both pretend, it's the wind up from the shore, and i love him for it then, like i never did before, and he isn't you, and i'll never be, the one that he left behind, each time we look in the mirror, i see, those restless eyes when he finds, that i'm not the one he wanted, and he's not who i dreamed, oh, those restless eyes, and restless me
