about
Written in summer 2009 in Virginia about a co-worker who moved to L.A.
lyrics
I know by the book you're off limits
I know I should leave you alone but I can't
'Cause you make me glow like the sunrise
But you never knew, you never knew
And now you're 2,226 miles away
But who's counting
And now you've given up the sunrise
For the stars on Sunset Blvd.
I wanted to visit Los Angeles
I wanted to walk in the Hollywood Hills
I wanted to talk until morning
But you never knew, you never knew
And now you're 2,226 miles away
But who's counting
And now you've given up the sunrise
For the stars on Sunset Blvd.
So I'll bite my tongue
And I'll wish you well
And I'll keep my secrets
Oh I'll never tell
And I'll send my love
Wherever you go
And I'll wait alone
'Cause you never did know
That I wanted to call you my lover
I wanted to kiss you from dusk until dawn
I wanted to lie naked before you
But you never knew, you never knew
And now you're 2,226 miles away
But who's counting
And now you've given up the sunrise
For the stars on Sunset Blvd.
I wanted to tell you, "I love you"
I know it sounds crazy but my heart won't shut up
I wanted to talk of forever
But you never knew, you never knew
And now you're 2,226 miles away
But who's counting
And now you've given up the sunrise
For the stars on Sunset Blvd.
So I'll bite my tongue
And I'll wish you well
And I'll keep my secrets
Oh I'll never tell
And I'll send my love
Wherever you go
And I'll be alone
'Cause you never did know
But I'm giving up, I am going
Across the Pacific, the other side of the world [different from sung lyric]
And maybe my heart will shut up and shut down
But you'll never know 'cause you don't be around
'Cause now I'm 6,724 miles away
And I'm counting
On distance and passage of time
To make you forget how I wished you were mine
'Cause I know by the book you're off limits
I know I should leave you alone but I can't
'Cause you make glow like the sunrise
And you never knew, you never knew
I know I should leave you alone but I can't
'Cause you make me glow like the sunrise
But you never knew, you never knew
And now you're 2,226 miles away
But who's counting
And now you've given up the sunrise
For the stars on Sunset Blvd.
I wanted to visit Los Angeles
I wanted to walk in the Hollywood Hills
I wanted to talk until morning
But you never knew, you never knew
And now you're 2,226 miles away
But who's counting
And now you've given up the sunrise
For the stars on Sunset Blvd.
So I'll bite my tongue
And I'll wish you well
And I'll keep my secrets
Oh I'll never tell
And I'll send my love
Wherever you go
And I'll wait alone
'Cause you never did know
That I wanted to call you my lover
I wanted to kiss you from dusk until dawn
I wanted to lie naked before you
But you never knew, you never knew
And now you're 2,226 miles away
But who's counting
And now you've given up the sunrise
For the stars on Sunset Blvd.
I wanted to tell you, "I love you"
I know it sounds crazy but my heart won't shut up
I wanted to talk of forever
But you never knew, you never knew
And now you're 2,226 miles away

And now you've given up the sunrise
For the stars on Sunset Blvd.
So I'll bite my tongue
And I'll wish you well
And I'll keep my secrets
Oh I'll never tell
And I'll send my love
