Go inside
close the door
Storm is coming storm is coming
the storm
and as you lie there
in your blue and yellow room
try to remember
the arms
of everyone who’s ever loved you
and let it slip from your mind
just like water from a drain
just like water
In the time it took for you to cross the room
there was an ocean
that grew above your heart
heavy like a hurricane
you rush to the window
to see the sky go black
and how you grew so jealous of the water
as it fell
back
to its home
Return
return like all that rain
Hold it just like we remember
and I will promise never to tell you
that it’s run out
just like water from a drain
just like water

Fingers meshed between a chain link fence
I want what I say lying just beyond my grasp
The city with its rain-lashed face
Streaked with tail light smudge
I don't care how cold you get
I'll walk your streets all night
Gathering the pieces
Broken and re-glued
Please, don't hide the damage
I want every part of you
I want every part of you
Fingers tracing graffiti scars
The braille your history has been written in
Stories vibrate through my skin
In snapshot moments I never lived
Wandering where the wind leads
I'll walk your streets all night
Gathering the pieces
Broken and re-glued
Please, don't hide the damage
I want every part of you
I want every part of you

3 a.m., out again at the Late Night rodeo
Inside, they're fogging up the windows with their rock ’n’ roll.
And I always look for you here
Even though it's been years.
chorus:
’Cause one day, I'll see you on TV.
Singing something that you used to sing to me
And I'll say, "That's my favorite song!"
And one day, I'll hear you on the radio
Singing something sweet and low
And I will, I will sing along.
(do do do do do etc.)
I heard you took your car up North, but the weather let you down.
I'm still living in New York. I'm never gonna kick this town.
I'm always running into someone you know.
Everybody says hello.
chorus
bridge:
You never said goodbye.
I always wondered why…

A hail of kites & arrows
Enough to set the seas wide open
Like our hearts inside us
Beating fast to spite us
I failed to set the record straight
I failed to set the record straight
Head just like a prison
The father, son, and holy ghost
He lifts you up beside him
I wish you were just like him
The only thing that separates
Is what you put inside him...
I was not made for this world
But I was made for you.
