Clichés

[Verse 1]
She's got a ballpark figure
He's got a ballpoint pen
They travel around for weeks at a time
Writin' down descriptions of the places they been

[Verse 2]
She plays guitar but nothin' fancy
With no intention of becomin' a star
Only thing that's botherin' him these days
Is where he's gonna find a good ten-cent cigar

[Chorus 1]
Clichés, good ways
To say what you mean, mean what you say

[Verse 3]
She never did make her debut
He never made it to class
She's eighty-sixed from the chart room
He's twenty nine and pushin' thirty real fast

[Verse 4]
They're funny when they get to rockin'
Goin' out for a night on the town
Takin' polaroid pictures that are never in focus
Just to look at when they finally slow down

[Chorus 2]
Full moon, so soon
Wishin' every month of the year could be June

[Verse 5]
He's always tuned into Star Trek
She's always tuned into him
Hidin' his cookies when he gets the munchies
Tryin' hard just to keep the boy slim

[Verse 6]
Tonight they're gonna go stargazin'
And try to figure out which one they're near
But try as they might, I don't think they'll reach the height
You know you can't get there from here

[Chorus 3]
Full moon, so soon
Wishin' every month of the year could be June
Clichés, good ways
To say what you mean, mean what you say

[Refrain]
To say what you mean, mean what you say
