The first thing i remember you were walking away |
|
You were singing something gentle in the fade |
|
The next thing i remember i nearly pushed you off the stage |
|
I pretended not to be afraid |
|
I played the fool |
|
I played the drowning man |
|
I will play your heroine |
|
I know the rules |
|
You wrote them on my veins |
|
I will play your heroine |
|
I'm calling from the border of another nameless state |
|
I am sitting on the steps of our mistake |
|
I will bring you postcards of everything that's gray |
|
I will draw your smile on my slate |
|
I said i loved you |
|
I said i needed you but baby i was wrong |
|
Well that was sunday |
|
And now it's Wednesday and i'm feeling strong |
|
Memory's a lover trying to tell you thatshe's late |
|
Memory's a silent second take |
|
She will drink the poison if you put it in you cup |
|
She will touch your eyes and never stop |
