lyrics

You rattle around inside my chest
Like a steam train along rusty tracks
Shaking me down til I'm out of breath
But you know these bones, they keep disaster at bay
And my heart, my heart's not made of porcelain anyway

So come on, come on, let’s jump that train

You said that you were always ready to run
That we’re all just wired to fly
And standing with you then on the outskirts of nowhere
On the state line of nothing, it’s just empties and ashes

I think maybe, this is our time
Maybe, maybe not...

Come on

Now we're getting older, maybe colder every day
And I worry, darling, have we grown cynical and vain?
Tonight I wanted to look at you the way I did so long ago
I never wanted anyone so badly and this you have to know

Like when you threw my clothes out on the lawn
And stumbled out with nothing on

And said, baby baby, come in to bed
Maybe, maybe not

And I know they're our mistakes, we get to make them all our own
And someday we'll look back and put the needle to the ‘phone
And someday she'll still be a woman, and you'll just be a song
But what's the point of playing it, if you can't sing along?

Sing for yourself
There's no one else who will
