I am trying to say what I want to say
So don't pretend that you don't feel the pull
Without having to say, "I love you"
Three blues, two greens and a beer.
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
We danced the junkies in the shadows of bad modern art
I am trying to say what I want to say
I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last
I really knew you
North of the river all the streets are the same
Springs comes in when I'm rolling up another one
We fell apart in the parties of the empty heart
And the heat is turned all the way to full
Without having to say, "I love you"
I draw the curtains in the glare of the same old sun
Without having to say, "I love you"
Without having to say, "I love you"
I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear
Without having to say, "I love you"
We can pretend that they don't know our name
One more tab and your silk hits the chrome
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens and a beer.
I am trying to say what I want to say
But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you
Let me take you there
I am trying to say what I want to say
But it's impossible to say
You look so good in the shoes of an outcast
I am trying to say what I want to say
We clicked our heels and we wished we were home
