Lyrics

A girl named Elizabeth likes her vodka with a lime And when she says "I love you" it sounds different every time With a paintbrush full of memories and a look you can't define She will watch the fading colors as the stars begin to climb Yes, a girl named Elizabeth needs a little special touch It's when she doesn't speak at all she's telling you so much In the morning you can find her at a lighthouse on the beach In her mind you'll find the kind of dreams that seem just out of reach There's a crumpled paper airplane in a corner of the room And her favorite flannel shirt, it kinda' smells like her perfume Now, a girl named Elizabeth needs to know she has a friend Or she'll stay in bed forever until she hears her name again And in the early evening when you try to hold her hand You can tell she really wants to but she doesn't understand How to give you something like you never had before And how to be the woman you were always looking for So can she drive you to the highway? What's your favorite time of year? Does she ask too many questions? Do you want to grab a beer? A girl named Elizabeth has a different kind of heart She remembers every boy who said "we'll never be apart" When it's raining in Chicago she is passed out in the aisle Of a Greyhound back to Springfield with a suitcase and a smile In a beat up pair of sneakers and that pink and yellow dress You won't even know it's over until she's gone and you're a mess So when your heart is in the basement and your eyes can't see a thing You won't forget a girl named Elizabeth No, you won't forget a girl named Elizabeth
