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 that she's late
|
Memory's a silent second take
|
She will drink the poison if you put it in your cup
|
She will touch your eyes and never stop
|
