My love I say if only for tonight. The streets are empty and the night is wide. Words fly over telephone wires. I can be in your head in less than five. Wearing drunkenness like a suit of arms. Counting the pavement cracks like lucky charms. It’s been three years and you’re still mine. Every once in a moon, every once in a while. And the light gives away what the night’s yesterday let me hold in my arms, oh what can I say? Baby please stay ’cause when you go away I get lost, I get lost, in a world far away. Where the sirens’ say “come with us, come with us, the rocks are so far away.” Where the pirates’ play, “walk it off, walk it off to the sound of the waves.” Everytime you go. But nobody knows. In all the tenses we collide. Your victory and my suicide. A meeting of two restless lives, where we always leave a man behind. So I’ll tell you that I’m fine with borrowed words in stolen time, and hate you when you fail to find the truth in all my whitened lies. And the light gives away what the night’s yesterday let me hold in my arms, oh what can I say, baby please stay ’cause when you go away I get lost, I get lost in a world far away. Where the siren’s say ‘come with us, come with us the rocks are so far away.’ Where the pirates’ play, ‘walk it off, walk it off to the sound of the waves.’ Everytime you go. But nobody knows.
