[Intro: John Darnielle, spoken]
I never get tired of this one
[Verse 1]
I've got a new life
You would hardly recognize me
I'm so glad
How could a person like me care for you?
Why should I bother when you're not the one?
[Chorus 1: John Darnielle & Rachel Ware]
I saw the sign
And it opened up my eyes I saw the sign

(I saw the sign, I saw the sign)
And it opened up my eyes I saw the sign
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign)
Love is demanding without understanding
Yeah I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
And no one's gonna drag you up
