Late December '93
He's watching Singled Out
On late night MTV
And thinking 'bout the one called She
And if she'll ever
Come back to her family
Jenny says "You only fall in love once"
And he says,
"If that's what love is like,
Once is enough."

He sees,
A world that's full of power
All coming from the tower
On the far side of the street
She sees,
She knows that it's a pity
She'll never leave the city
She just sees the world in snowglobes
That decorate her home

Late December '95
He hasn't seen her since
But knows that she's alive
It's just that voice inside his head
That keeps repeating
The last thing that she said
"We've all got our issues."
And he says, "Well I've got plenty,
But the one I miss is you."

He sees,
A world that's in the balance
His brother and his parents
All lit up on the scree
She sees,
And knows that it's a pity
She'll never leave the city
She just sees the world in snowglobes
That decorate her home

And everybody says hello
Even to people they don't know
Their reputation rude
That New York attitude
But still he thinks that they're too nice

Late December '98
She's been gone for five years
But still he feels okay
But Winter's feeling colder since
Maybe he always comes down -on-
The wrong side of the fence
Jenny says, "You only fall in love once"
And he says, "If that's what love is like,
Once just isn't enough."

He sees,
A world made by a painter
That gets ever more plainer
In an evaporated screen
And she sees,
And knows that it's a pity
She never left the city
She just sees the world in snowglobes
That decorate her home
