I remember a rooftop making out
|
|
Downstairs the carpet screamed so loud
|
|
I waited so long for that night
|
|
Then I just turned away
|
|
And I know every street
|
|
I know itĄŻs side
|
|
But I was lost, unfound, not right
|
|
|
Maybe thereĄŻs something wrong inside
|
|
Now I've got nowhere to go
|
|
My answer's all that I've got
|
|
I'm so sorry for so many things
|
|
That I haven't said yet
|
|
This is the waiting room I spend my whole life in
|
|
They gave me a thousand hands so I could count my sins
|
|
If I'm lucky maybe IĄŻll finish before the roof caves in
|
|
|
I lost my life on the first try
|
|
You found it miles down the line
|
|
A swallowed face with
|
|
3 birds' names
|
|
|
It gets the taste back in my tongue
|
|
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
|
|
And then we slept for days and days and days
|
|
|
When we woke up
|
|
My heart, I choked up
|
|
Had to say "I love you" way too soon
|
|
But right there on your couch
|
|
You loved me too
|
|
Right there on your couch
|
|
You loved me too
|
|
|
19 and sober once or twice
|
|
I caught some junkie's bad advice
|
|
Up to my eyes in others' problems
|
|
CouldnĄŻt see I never solve them
|
|
My Only skin and bone
|
|
And this and pills unknown
|
|
I took my lousy shot
|
|
At public recognition
|
|
Could never pull the trigger
|
|
If I wasn't shaking
|
|
|
I lost my life on the first try
|
|
You found it miles down the line
|
|
A swallowed face with
|
|
3 birds' names
|
|
|
It gets the taste back in my tongue
|
|
You sucked the smoke out of my lungs
|
|
And then we slept for days and days and days
|
|
|
When we woke up
|
|
My heart, I choked up
|
|
Had to say, "I love you" way too soon
|
|
But right there on your couch
|
|
You loved me too
|
|
Right there on your couch
|
|
You loved me too
