This City

I hadn't held your hand since
I don't remember when
I should've known it then but
My heart had other plans

Now look how fast I went crazy
You said you'd call back
Can someone tell me

Is this pathetic or a movie plot
Romantic or a one way stop
To softer walls and cotton cuffs
Coca-Cola flavored cups of apathy

I hadn't heard you laugh since
Sometime that summer past
You should've told me then that
I'd taken more than half

So why did you get so angry
You knew who I was when you met me

But you were always so convincing
Had me breathless
Had me dreaming
About fifty years of being mine
All the sadness far behind
Away from me

Get away from me

Now look how fast we went crazy
But you said you would marry me

How can I stay here in this city
When for me you are this city
And with me you are not staying
And for you I am not waiting

But I'm waiting here
I'm waiting here
