[Intro]
Well I woke up
in mid-aftern
oon cause that
's when it all
hurts
the most
I dream I neve
r know anyone
at the party a
nd I'm always
the
host
If dreams are
like movies, t
hen memories a
re films about
ghosts
You can never
escape, you ca
n only move so
uth down the c
oast
Hey, Mrs Potte
r, don't cry
Hey, Mrs Potter I don't know why but
Hey, Mrs Potter won't you talk to me

all the rest of the verses follow that same pattern.
Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a
shame
And though I'll never forget your face,
sometimes I can't remember my name
[Chorus]
Hey Mrs. Pott
er don't cry
Hey Mrs. Pott
er I know why
but
Hey Mrs. Pott
er won't you t
alk to me
