Lyrics Steve I Always Knew - Mark Eitzel

Steve I Always Knew

You can boil the night down into a thin white line
Ringing doorbells and waiting next to a payphone
Which I means, I guess, that we’re gonna sleep together
And like the morning we disappear
The sunrise is a rainbow made out of grey blood veins
You said in my life I was too lucky
So, tell me, am I supposed to feel guilty or something
When you’re just another glow in the dark skeleton talking
Steve, I always knew you wanted me
But you know I had too much to lose
You said the only way through fear is to give in
And you were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
Fear ain’t much more than nothing
You put all your cash up the noses of the boys at the Leland Hotel
You said if you don’t live now there’s no chance for later
I guess in bed I was kind of a sweet nothing
For your money you could have done much better
Steve, I always knew you wanted me
But you know I had too much to lose
You said the only way through fear is to give in
And you were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
Fear ain’t much more than nothing
You were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
But then I caught your eyes and you know, you were nothing
You moved to New York to clean up and came back married to a cop
When I saw you on the street I could tell you didn’t want to stop
You said those who haven’t seen the death of love don’t know what to believe in
And far too early you saw life had no meaning
You were far too young to think that was the truth
You were far too young to live with the truth
Steve, I always knew you wanted me
Oh, but you know I had too much to lose
You said the only way through fear is to give in
You were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
Fear ain’t much more than nothing
You were right, you were right, you were right
You were right, you were right, you were right
But then I caught your eyes and you know, you were nothing
You were nothing, you were nothing, you were nothing
