now that i love you so much,
and it’s right there for all to see.
why don’t you let me hold you
and dream of the things that should not be?
haha haha

you’re so damn intelligent; i can’t stand the way it hurts
‘cause i’ll never be worth quite what you’re worth.

i studied the words you wrote down
and picked them apart to check your style,
and as i was doing all this
you never forget to hide your smile.
haha haha

i wonder if my heart will fade or if this is the one
‘cause i don’t think i’ll find a better one.

it all comes crashing down (lalala)
when my secret flies. (lala)
back to loneliness.
why?

[chorus #2]

it all comes…

now that i love you so much,
and it’s right there for all to see.
why don’t you let me hold you,
and dream of the things that should not be?

now that i love so much
and it’s right there for all to see.
why don’t you let me hold you
and dream of the things that should not be?
and dream of the things that should not be?
and dream of the things that should not be?

    General Comment:Upon further investigation, it seems as if the title simply comes from the number of the take used. I'm a touch embarrassed about writing such a grasping-at-straws interpretation based on a connection I later learned to be a coincidence. Still, given Cuomo's brainy tendencies (going back to Harvard for English next year) and his sometimes obscure literary allusions (Pinkerton's lifts from Madame Butterfly), an extra significance to the number 367 doesn't seem quite outside the realm of possibility.

    General Comment:In Ayn Rand's book "Atlas Shrugged," Dagny Taggart, pining for her true love John Galt, uses the number of his house as a symbol for his vacancy in her life. The number is, of course, 367. This song similarly paints a portrait of an unrequited love between the narrator (Dagny) and a person viewed as superior (Galt, Rand's symbol of totally fulfilled human achievement). The song's lyrics are too vague or universal to completely draw a parallel, but the words the narrator studies "to check your style" could be Galt's 80 page radio speech, just as "the things that should not be" could refer to the future of the world as controlled by the looters, etc.

    I love Rivers song writing style, how somehow it always seems to focus on the fact that he can't get the girl he loves or lost the girl he loved, but he also tends to knock himself a lot when he writes about it. I know that's inevitable, but still.... I never liked this song, though, until I actually read the lyrics. Then I re-listened to it and realized what such a beautiful song it was. I hope they don't leave it out when they make album 5.

    this line is so great. it struck me as being so cool the first time i heard it. Rivers is at his best when writing about the girls he can't get!
