And I know that you don't But if I ask you if you love me I hope you li-li-li-lie You look happy Flashing back to New York City Changing flights so you'd stay with me Now I wish we'd never met 'Cause you're too hard to forget

But now it's gone When you build your house Where everyone would love to drown It doesn't matter what for Then call me home Wait a minute baby Stay with me awhile Said you'd give me light

And I love ya When the rain came I thought you'd leave 'Cause I knew how much you loved the sun But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm Through the darkest nights I've ever known If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing Then I know I love ya Oh

If you'd have me I'd take you back again Don't leave you said to me And for a moment I feared I'd stay But your plea rang hollow so I quietly Walked away I can see you through the glass And I wonder was it done in vain Now I'd do anything To simply make

That one day you'd know my name But now your being brainwashed They never knew what my name was I fought up my corner, didn't I warn ya, A few years older now I'm singing ayo ayo Remember me do you do you remember me Make sure you remember me, make sure

I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety And isn't this exactly where you'd like me Oh, and isn't this exactly where you'd like me Well I'm afraid that I Well, I may have faked it and I wouldn't be

Maybe I'm a fool Maybe I'm a fool for you You know what I'd do for you I know what you'd do for me You will see The truth in me Feelin' lonely in this room since I was seventeen Thought this bottle was supposed to drown my memory But I'm still swimmin'

And I know that you don't But if I ask you if you love me I hope you li-li-li-lie You look happy Flashing back to New York City Changing flights so you'd stay with me Now I wish we'd never met 'Cause you're too hard to forget

Get the firehouse Whoo, hoo, yeah She's like bad weather but it seems so good You'd never leave her but you know you should She'll adore you and she'll floor you With her wisdom and her vision And you'll love it and think of it Till you lose all intuition

And I know what's on your mind God knows I put it there But if I took it back Well you'd be nowhere You'd be nowhere again In my cold arms Weekend wreckers take the streets With abandon in their eyes But in our bedroom we're bloodshot and beat
