Sailing on the train after the bar closed
Two or three worlds away
You said, “Tell me a story. Keep me awake.
Make me believe we’re okay.”
I said, “There once was a boy. There once was a girl.
And they once had a world of their own.
But once upon a time was a harder thing to find
Than either had ever known.”
“But I’ll put my hand in your back pocket
Like when we were kids
You might lead me to trouble,
But if you’re still in, I’m still in.”
Just five more blocks to go until the alley behind you building
Where we first made out
You said, “I can’t go on. I can’t carry this...
It hurts not to say it out loud.”
You said, “There once was a girl, there once was a boy,
And once was a long time ago.”
You said, “I never saw this coming,
But I’m usually less drunk,
And if I don’t get it out I’ll explode.”
You said you’ll put your hand in my back pocket
Like when we were kids
I might lead you to trouble
But if I’m still in, you’re still in
So I’ll put my hand in your back pocket
Like when we were kids
You might lead me to trouble
But if you’re still in, Im still in
