they put it in perspective, right between my ears
they've been with me through varied times, in laughter and in tears
i've listened and i've followed now for so many years
oh, how i love this band in my life
i'm in love with a band
do you understand?
they're in step with the rhythm i be tappin' with my hand
my inner experience and all the imagery
is reflected in their lyrics back to me
i really like production tricks
they really pile 'em on
a world inside my headphones to which i've already gone
make me want to make music too
it's what i'm gonna do
oh, how i want to live that life
i'm in love with a band
do you understand?
they're in step with the rhythm i be tappin' with my hand
my inner experience and all the imagery
is reflected in their lyrics back to me
i stood in line for tickets once when i was seventeen
and then somehow i got backstage and got in on their green
i dreamt i read about it in a glossy magazine
oh, how i loved living that life
i'm in love with a band
do you understand?
they're in step with the rhythm i be tappin' with my hand
my inner experience and all the imagery
is reflected in their lyrics back to me
