Story Behind The Song

I was watching Garden State and when I got to the scene where Large meets Sam in the doctor's office I was inspired by the their odd attraction and paused the DVD and wrote most of the song.

Song Description

This song is from the point of view of a creative, idealistic guy who is daydreaming about what it would be like to find his perfect "crazy girl" He mixes in snippets of conversations he thinks he would have with his true love crazy girl.

Lyrics

I want a girl who's crazy like me
a girl who can see the things I see
then I won't be dreaming all alone

She'll surprise me with the things she says
she'll paint her words with blues and reds
then I'll take her hand and walk her home

then I'll say:

Even when I'm a star
I'll still play my guitar and sing you a song while you take a bath

I know you realize that life has its highs and sometimes it gets real low
but I'll always love you so
my crazy girl

I wanna girl who's crazy like me
a girl who keeps her Mondays free
then I won't be the only one at home

She'll call in sick for me and tell me to go back to sleep then I won't be dreaming all alone

I'll say:

Even when I'm a star
I'll still play my guitar and sing you a song while you take a bath

I know you realize that life has its highs and sometimes it gets real low
but I'll always love you so
my crazy girl

ooo baby you're crazy like me
ooo baby you're crazy like me
ooo baby you're crazy like me
ooo baby you're crazy like me
