Lyrics White Picket Fence - Five for Fighting
[VERSE
1]
I
cut
off
the
curls,
I
shaved
half
my
face,
Became
half
the
man
you
asked
to
replace.
I'm
willing
to
save
you,
You
said
you're
worth
saving.
But
half
of
my
appetite's
lost
half
it's
craving.
Stand
in
the
mirror,
Well
that's
me
beside
you.
The
one
with
the
smile,
The
one
that
abides
you.
Now
don't
mind
the
mad
man,
the
killer,
the
lover.
Well
he's
slowly
fading
one
into
the
other.
[CHORUS]
And
where
is
that
white
picket
fence,
That
I
painted
myself,
In
the
late
days
of
April.
Oh
where
are
the
daffodil
mountains,
I
know
that
they're
somewhere
around
here,
By
the
garden...
[VERSE
2]
You
say
that
you're
happy,
Well
you
should
know
better.
I
can
see
that
you've
sewn
up
that
rip
in
your
sweater,
That
some
lover
tore
off
you.
That
left
you
both
shaken.
That
bled
deep
inside
you,
the
wound
you'd
forsaken.
[CHORUS]
And
where
is
that
white
picket
fence,
That
I
painted
myself,
In
the
late
days
of
April.
Oh
where
are
the
daffodil
mountains,
I
know
that
they're
somewhere
around
here,
By
the
garden...
[VERSE
3]
Don't
fear
I
will
save
you.
Don't
shout
you'll
awaken.
The
corpse
in
the
desert,
Staked
out
beside
you.
I
cut
off
his
wing,
And
shaved
half
his
face,
But
I
thought
that
I
saw
his
eyes
--
move.
