| She takes it outside to read
|
| And on a chair in the alley
|
| She smooths out the pages
|
| And reads, «I am way past pretendin' we ain’t more than friends
|
| And this moment is losing its patience
|
| And time is all there is
|
| Still it disappears, so you need to tell me what’s true
|
| Do you think about me like I think about you?
|
| Or is that just impossible too?
|
| And if that is what it is
|
| And we call it quits, I won’t be alone, living among strangers
|
| And now all’s left to do is be powerless, too
|
| Then be crushed by the cavalry coming to save you
|
| That’s all there is
|
| Nobody out there loves you like I do
|
| So if you’re thinking you’ll do better
|
| Just know there’s nothing 'round here that a miracle won’t mend
|
| Why hang 'round forever?
|
| This ain’t no paradise or hell for somewhere else
|
| I dunno if you remember
|
| But I ain’t some kinda bird shit mayor bolted to the town square
|
| What is it you’re expecting?
|
| You need an invitation to go anywhere?
|
| I spent a night at sea
|
| (Everything dies and that’s the way it’s always been)
|
| Now nothing’s foreign to me
|
| (Everything dies and that’s the way it’s always been)
|
| No joy, no sorrow, nothing is spared
|
| (Everything dies and that’s the way it’s always been)
|
| To be reborn again
|
| (Everything dies and that’s the way it’s always been)
|
| So if you’re thinking you’ll do better
|
| Just know there’s nothing 'round here a miracle won’t mend
|
| Why hang on forever?
|
| This ain’t no paradise or hell for somewhere else
|
| I dunno if you remember
|
| But I ain’t some kinda bird shit mayor bolted to the town square
|
| I’m good to go whenever
|
| Why do you need a reason to go anywhere at all?
|
| Oh, at all |
