She takes it outside to read
And on a chair in the alley
She smooths out the pages
And reads, “I am way past pretendin’ we ain’t more than friends
And this moment is losing its patience
And time is all there is
Still it disappears, so you need to tell me what’s true
Do you think about me like I think about you?
Or is that just impossible too?
And if that is what it is
And we call it quits, I won’t be alone, living among strangers
And now all’s left to do is be powerless, too
Then be crushed by the cavalry coming to save you
That’s all there is
Nobody out there loves you like I do
So if you’re thinking you’ll do better
Just know there’s nothing ’round here that a miracle won’t mend
Why hang ’round forever?
This ain’t no paradise or hell for somewhere else
I dunno if you remember
But I ain’t some kinda bird sh*t mayor bolted to the town square
What is it you’re expecting?
You need an invitation to go anywhere?
I spent a night at sea
(Everything dies and that’s the way it’s always been)
Now nothing’s foreign to me
(Everything dies and that’s the way it’s always been)
No joy, no sorrow, nothing is spared
(Everything dies and that’s the way it’s always been)
To be reborn again
(Everything dies and that’s the way it’s always been)
So if you’re thinking you’ll do better
Just know there’s nothing ’round here a miracle won’t mend
Why hang on forever?
This ain’t no paradise or hell for somewhere else
I dunno if you remember
But I ain’t some kinda bird sh*t mayor bolted to the town square
I’m good to go whenever
Why do you need a reason to go anywhere at all?
Oh, at all
