She takes it outside to read
And on a chair in the alley she smooths out the pages
And it reads "I am way past pretendin' we ain't more
Than friends, and this moment is losing its patience
And time is all there is
Still it disappears, so you need to tell me what's true:
Do you think about me like I think about you?
Or is that just impossible too?
And if that is what it is
And we call it quits I won't be alone living among strangers
And now all's left to do is be powerless, too
Then be crushed by the cavalry coming to save ya"
That's all there is

Nobody out there loves you like I do
So if you're thinking you'll do better
Just know there's nothing 'round here that a miracle won't mend
Why hang on forever?
This ain't no paradise
Oh, heaven's somewhere else
I wonder if you remember
But I ain't some kinda bird shit mayor
Bolted to the town square
What is it you're expecting?
You need an invitation to go anywhere

I spent a night at sea
(Everything dies and that's the way it's always been)
Now nothing's foreign to me
(Everything dies and that's the way it's always been)
No joy, no sorrow, nothing is spared
(Everything dies and that's the way it's always been)
To be reborn again
(Everything dies and that's the way it's always been)

So if you're thinking you'll do better
Just know there's nothing 'round here a miracle won't mend
Why hang on forever?
This ain't no paradise
Oh, heaven's somewhere else
I wonder if you remember
But I ain't some kinda bird shit mayor
Bolted to the town square
I'm good to go whenever
Why do you need a reason to go anywhere at all?

Oh, at all
