Lyrics

1. Whiter than white
Coming down the mountain
She could smile the whitest smile
And gather people round
All I can do
Is turn a deeper shade of blue
But I would give my life
If you would bounce that
Smile to me and back to you

Ch.1

Don't ask me if I ski in Aspen
I'm an ordinary guy
I don't think I could take you there
This summer I'll be back in Akron
Under ordinary skies
And I'll be thinking of you there

2. Whiter than white
The colour of surrender
She won't wear tonight
As she folds in my arms
All I wanted to do
Was climb the highest mountain
That's all I was asking you
But if we can't go down that mountain
I won't stand in line again

Ch.1
Don't ask me if I ski in Aspen
I'm an ordinary guy
I don't think I could take you there
This summer I'll be back in Akron
Under ordinary skies
And I'll be thinking of you there

Break:
In my mind I see reflections
An echo of another life
Was it love
Or just a trick of light
In your eyes?


Ch.2
Don't ask me if I ski in Aspen
It's another kind of world - I don't think I could take you there
This summer I'll be taking aspirin
Or some other kinda girl - pretending I could really care
She left me shaking like an Aspen
God, I almost touched the sky - as I was coming up for air
I should have known she wasn't asking
For an ordinary guy - so I guess I won't see you there
