| You were fresh off the boat from Virginia,
|
| I had a year in New York City under my belt,
|
| We met in a dream when we were both 19
|
| I remember where we were standing
|
| I remember how it felt
|
| Two little girls growing out of their training bras,
|
| This little girl breaks furniture, this little girl breaks laws
|
| Two girls together
|
| Just a little less alone
|
| This little girl cried «wee wee wee» all the way home.
|
| (Home)
|
| We were always half crazy, now look at you, baby
|
| You make about as much sense as a nursery rhyme,
|
| And love is a piano dropped from a four story window
|
| And you were in the wrong place at the wrong time
|
| And I don’t like your girlfriend, yeah, I blame her
|
| Never seen one of your lovers do you so much harm
|
| And I loved you first and you know I would prefer
|
| If she didn’t empty her syringes into your arm
|
| (Arm)
|
| Now here comes little naked me padding up to the bathroom door
|
| To find little naked you slumped on the bathroom floor
|
| So I guess I’ll just stand here with my back against the wall,
|
| While you distill your whole life down to a 9−1-1 call
|
| So now you bring me your bruises
|
| So I can «oh» and «ah» at the display
|
| Maybe I’m supposed to make one of my famous jokes that makes everything okay
|
| Or maybe I’m supposed to be the handsome prince who rides up and unties your
|
| hands,
|
| Or maybe I’m supposed to be the furrow-browed friend who thinks she understands
|
| Now here comes little naked me padding up to the bathroom door
|
| To find little naked you slumped on the bathroom floor
|
| So I guess I’ll just stand here with my back against the wall
|
| While you distill your whole life down to a 9−1-1 call |
