It was raining on valentine's day
When you'd almost given up
Mother slept it off for a while
And my brother and i got drunk

While you were tied in electric chains
I was passed out on the floor
For three long nights
No one came to your hospital door

Time moves

Look at me baby
Look at you
You're in your white wedding dress
In a padded room
Look at you baby
Look at me
I traded my tuxedo in for a chance to be free
So while you savor every taste of wedding cake
I gotta car out back just for my great escape

I don't wan

It's good just to breathe in
It's good just to wait for the moment to pass
It's good to be human
It's good to feel love when you're falling fast

It's good to remember
Somewhere ahead you will see the light
It's good to find shelter
Here in the arms of a friend tonig

You waited there out in the rain
You held my jacket in your hand with my favorite smile
And I drove by, no, I couldn't stop
I caught your eye and then you knew I had given up

And if you call me up tonight
I will only say I'm sorry
And if you call me up tonight
I wil

I take out the watch you gave me christmas day
The battery died and it's been stuck at half past eight
I see you there reflected in the glass
You think it's like me, worthless and free, you think it's like me

It's getting dark in here
And i'm the one you fear
It's getti

I know you are hurting
I read it in your touch
I feel close but far away
It's never quite enough
You read to me last night
And every word was true
Someone else's old love letters
Open the door to you

Love, love's waiting here for you
What else can i do to sh

Oh, mama, look at me now
Look at the bruises on my brow
Oh, mama, when i was a child
You busted my lip so you could survive
Oh, mama, i saw you today
You hid under covers to sleep it away
Oh, mama dad wrecked the car
I dream of him silent now with his scars

And

We gave up our innocence and expectations
We drove home in silence beneath this shadow sky
And trailing our headlights with speculation
How did we end up on the road at night?

I won't regret a single moment's passion
And, no, i don't blame you for the love you stole
All

You drove all night from illinois
To meet me there on phoenix hill
And everything was beautiful
You took my hand and said my name
You asked me if i felt the same
I said a hundred fold
Your eyes, sad under lights on the street
We danced while the world was asleep

I started young with my foot against the pedal, baby
I say goodbye to every fool i've known
I'll blow it out on a spread of highway, baby
You don't want to see my fall
I didn't think so at all

You started out looking small inside the mirror, baby
I left behind a debt i'

She takes her pills on a saturday
And looks at the ring you left there in the drawer
You're off on the road for business you say
And she wonders just what kind of dealing goes down
And late in the night she's suspicious
As the chemicals undo their spell
She calls me to te
